Hi folks, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. Did you have a good Thanksgiving? I had a lovely time with Dad Clutter, even though the New England Patriots ended the day on a down note, which made their game seem even later. I'd vote for any presidential candidate who would mandate that nighttime football games start no later than 6:00. Some of us need our beauty sleep. Definitely moving slowly this morning as a result, but BDH and Little Buddha promised to keep today's to-do list short. They also said they'd make the coffee a little stronger... Read more →

Hi everyone, On behalf of BDH, Little Buddha, and myself, we wish you all a happy Thanksgiving! We remain thankful for your friendship and hope you have a terrific day. If you are on your own today, we are thinking of you and hope you will indulge in some self-care. This will generally be a quiet day for us until dinner time and the Patriots game. The to-do list is short, and everything is closed anyway, so maybe the guys will have a chance to start their new book. First, let's check out the headlines. There's a fresh pot of... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Thanksgiving Eve to you. Before we get started, BDH, Little Buddha, and I want to wish good luck to anyone who is traveling today. Whether you're driving or flying, we hope things go smoothly. I have to make a quick run to the grocery store later, because Dad Clutter needs coffee. (See, it runs in the family.) Hopefully it won't be too crazy in there as everyone does their last minute shopping. First, let's get to work. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD,...

Hi everyone, How are you? Our crew was just doing our morning stretches to get the old blood flowing. I wasn't feeling much of a productive vibe after we said goodbye to you yesterday. However, I cleared the to-do list, so that felt particularly good. Definitely off to a better start this morning, so I'm ready to go as soon as BDH and Little Buddha give me the updated errands. Did I tell you that I finally found the guys a new book to read last week? What a relief. They haven't had a chance to start it yet, but... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. We hope you had a great weekend. It was a little rough on this end. We didn't fully resolve our heat issues until Saturday afternoon, which was distracting. However, things finally seem to be working like they should, so hopefully that's the end of that hassle. BDH and Little Buddha just told me we're looking at a high of 36 degrees, with a "real feel" of 28 today. I might push a few errands off until tomorrow, when it's supposed to be a little warmer. In the meantime, we're... Read more →

We've spent most of our time since the end of "The Power of the Doctor" wondering what is next for our favorite Time Lord. The Doctor once again looks like David Tennant, and he will be reuniting with Donna Noble (played by Catherine Tate) during the 60th anniversary specials in 2023. How is any of that possible? It's enough to keep a Doctor Who fan's imagination busy for the next year all by itself. However, now we also have to ask what lies ahead for the Doctor after he regenerates into Ncuti Gatwa at the end of this mini-Tennant return,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What a long week. It feels like our hot water heater issue was a month ago, but that was just this past Monday. We've been fighting since then with the property manager who controls the heat at Clutter Headquarters. They set the boiler at the wrong level at the start of almost every fall/winter and then act like it's not their job to fix it when our radiators are ice cold. There was a little bit of activity this morning, so hypothermia isn't as pressing a concern, but it's... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Today got off to a rough start on this end, between technical difficulties and other issues. To be honest, I was about ready to throw in the towel and go back to bed. However, our crack IT staff (i.e. BDH and Little Buddha) kept plugging away and got us back up and running, so how about a round of applause for them? They're the best. Not only did the guys fix our computer, they also made you coffee. There's a fresh pot on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, friends. How are you? Things have quieted down a little on this end. The plumber installed the new hot water heater yesterday morning, so we're back in business, which is nice. We saw the first snow of the year when we woke up this morning. However, BDH and Little Buddha just told me it's switching to rain now, so this dusting should disappear pretty quickly. I'll hold off on driving for a little bit, just to make sure the roads aren't icy. It's wild to think I was wearing shorts on Saturday. Anyway, let's get to... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Our week got off to quite the start yesterday. Everything was fine right after we left you folks, but it all took a sharp turn when I discovered that our water heater died. The basement was a bit of a mess, but thankfully I learned about the problem relatively quickly, so the damage is minimal. The plumber is coming with the replacement heater this morning, which means BDH and Little Buddha had to re-organize today's to-do list. Not sure if we'll still make it to the bookstore to check out the new releases, but here's... Read more →
