the time has come to remove the tree. We did find out that it is indeed legal to have a live tree in our apartment - they included proper disposal protocol in the January newsletter - but we did also find out that in order to keep from trailing dead trees down the hallways, residents are encouraged to use their balconies to hasten the trip to the dumpster. So at least we still get to toss the tree off the 3rd floor, the perfect ending to a wonderful Christmas season....
