Hi everyone, Welcome back, come on in. How are you? How's your week going so far? Monday seemed a little crazier than usual, though no harm done. It ended nicely as I went to the Rattlesnake Bar and Grill with my friends Kate and Weber. It's been about a year since the last time I was there, and I must have made quite an impression, because they put me (and Kate) on their homepage. Can you find us? After that, we took a walk through the Boston Marathon bombing memorial on Boylston Street, which was moving. I can handle flowers... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? How was your weekend? BDH, Little Buddha and I had a great time again outside yesterday. I love this nice weather, though at the risk of being a Debbie Downer, we could use some rain around here. The Clutter Tree in particular could use some water so he can really pop into full bloom. Other than that, though, it's all good. It's also Monday, so let's get to work. Help yourself to a nice medium DD, because it's time to kick off the week with a little Clutter. John Lackey and the Boston... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you on this gorgeous Sunday? Seriously, could it be any nicer out? BDH, Little Buddha and I had a nice walk on Boylston Street yesterday, and now they want to go out again for a trip around the neighborhood. I told them to go put on their sunscreen and get their hats, and then we'd do it as soon as we were done here. So, help yourself to a nice medium iced DD, and let's clear out a little Clutter. Boston Red Sox pitcher Felix Doubront looked liked he'd forgotten it was his turn... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? What's new? Big plans this weekend? It's just gorgeous out there. BDH and Little Buddha want me to take them for a walk, but I said we had to take care of business first. They said that made sense to them, so help yourself to a nice medium (iced?) DD, and let's clear out some Saturday Clutter. There are two big take-aways from yesterday's Red Sox 7-3 win over the Houston Astros. The first is that David Ortiz continues to destroy any argument about the need for spring training. Seriously, the big guy... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! We survived the week, folks, and that's reason to celebrate right there. It's supposed to be another nice day out, so help yourself to a nice medium iced DD, and let's close out the week with a little Friday Clutter. Former president George W. Bush came out of hiding for a day to attend the dedication of his new library. He's right about one thing: History will judge his legacy and he is not going to be happy with the final verdict. The eternal image. (pic via businessinsider.com) Barbara... Read more →

Hi everyone, What a crazy week. I was at Clutter Headquarters Monday night, just clearing out some Clutter, when suddenly I got the "Bat Signal" from my job, telling me I had to come in right away. I saved the Clutter draft, took off like a madman, and it feels like I've been home for 30 seconds since then. It was one big blur, but all l I can tell you is that it's good to be back with you, BDH, and Little Buddha! I get so cranky when we all don't get to hang out. Now, I'm going to... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? We're sorry we haven't been able to hang out much so far this week. The "real world" is taking all of my time at the moment. It's a drag, but someone has to pay the mortgage on Clutter Headquarters, and it's not BDH and Little Buddha. We hope you are all having a great week so far, and hopefully we'll be able to join you for a medium DD shortly. (pic via chicagoreader.com) Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? I'm sorry we couldn't hang out yesterday, but BDH, Little Buddha and I had so many errands to run, we just couldn't get back in time. There's a number of things I want to cover from the last two days, so I think we're going to have to clear out a little Sunday and Monday Clutter today, so help yourself to a nice medium DD, and let's get to work. Sunday was an incredibly emotional day as the Boston Red Sox returned to Fenway Park for the first time since the Marathon bombings.... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? I'm still trying to process everything that happened yesterday. It was something straight out of an episode of 24. A shootout, a massive manhunt which caused a lock-down in Boston and several other cities and towns, then the suspect is found hiding in a boat and ends up being arrested and is still alive? BDH, Little Buddha and I couldn't take our eyes off the TV all day. I mean really, what the hell was that? It was so nice to talk a walk around the neighborhood last night just because I could. Now that... Read more →

Update: I woke up this morning to find out that one of the Boston Marathoners Marathon bombers was killed last night, and the other one is on the run. There's a massive manhunt going on right now. The MBTA has been closed, and BDH, Little Buddha and I are stuck at Clutter Headquarters for the time being. All I can say right now is how angry I am, and I hope they catch this guy soon. In the meantime, here's what was originally going to be today's Clutter. "And this time next year, on the third Monday in April, the... Read more →
