Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? Week going okay so far? Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of my paying gig (I still consider Clutter my "real" job), and I was rewarded with what I consider to be the nicest day of the summer so far. Seriously, it was sunny and pleasant, without that intense heat or insane humidity we've had in recent weeks. I'll take more of that, please. However, what I'll take first is a nice medium iced DD, because it's time to clear out some Wednesday Clutter. Private Bradley Manning was found not guilty of "aiding the... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. Come make yourself comfortable. We've got plenty to get to, so help yourself to a nice medium iced DD, and let's clear out a little Tuesday Clutter. Big Papi won't be suspended for his meltdown over the weekend, if for no other reason than no one is brave enough to give him bad news. It was a sad day for the Boston Red Sox, as they lost two alumni yesterday. The first was former first baseman George "Boomer" Scott who played for the Sox in the 60's and 70's. I need to ask Dad Clutter, but... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How was your weekend? It was a pretty productive couple of days here. We made it to the gym, worked in a bike ride, got new work shoes for the first time in years, plus did a litle cleaning around Clutter Headquarters. You like? It all went by too quickly, but there's nothing we can do about that except press onward, so help yourself to a nice iced DD, and let's clear out a little Monday Clutter. A new survey paints a frightening picture regarding growing economic insecurity in this country. The bad news continues for... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? What's the plan for the day? I'm off to the gym, and then I think I'll be going shopping for some work shoes. I'm pretty sure George W. Bush was still in the White House the last time I did this, so it should be a little adventure. It sounds like the weather should be better today than yesterday, though the Clutter Tree certainly enjoyed the rain. However, we've got work to take care of first. Help yourself to a nice medium iced DD because it's time to clear out some Saturday Clutter.... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! Big plans for the weekend? BDH and Little Buddha could use new shoes, so there might be some shopping on the schedule. I guess I should see what the weather forecast is first, though. It's a grey wet day here at the moment, but at least the Clutter Tree is getting some water. In any case, we've got work to do, so help yourself to a nice medium DD, and let's close out the week with a little Clutter. The Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays were rained... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? Come on in, make yourself comfortable. Why yes, I did get a haircut. No, I'm not going into the Army, I just couldn't take it anymore in all this heat and humidity, so I had the woman shear me like a sheep. I don't know if that was her first time using the clippers or what, but her technique was shall we say, "less than gentle." In fact, I'm pretty sure she drew blood at one point. Anyway, it's already cooler around here now, and I'm a much happier camper (plus, BDH and... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? Anything interesting going on? BDH and Little Buddha are eager to get to work today, so help yourself to a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some Wednesday Clutter. The big news of the day has to be the fact that the Laser Show isn't going anywhere! Clutter is happy to hear that the Boston Red Sox are expected to sign second baseman Dustin Pedroia to a 7-year / $100 million contract extension. I plead a little guilty to being concerned about contracts that are more than 5 years. It just seems... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in. How are you? How was your Monday? Mine was decent. I can't say I was moving at top speed for some reason, but it was pretty productive. My train home took 45 minutes to go four stops, which was a shame, but hey, at least the A/C was working. You take what you can get, you know what I mean? Actually, what I mean is that you should help yourself to a nice medium iced DD, because it's time to clear out some Tuesday Clutter. Quick quiz: What's better than a walk-off home... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. There's no time to waste, so let's get right to it. Help yourself to nice medium iced DD, and let's clear out a little Clutter. Boston Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester is skipping tonight's start against the Tampa Bay Rays and will pitch tomorrow instead. Seems a little disconcerting that he just had more than a week off and still needs more rest, but if this will help him get back on track, so be it. It's amazing how the future of the Sox this season is quickly looking... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Holy crap is it hot outside. I know, that makes me the master of the obvious, but I think I spent more time outside this morning than I did all week, and I seem to have lost about 10 lbs in the process. I still have a few more errands to run, but they can wait until later in the day. For now, grab a seat in front of the A/C, help yourself to a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some Saturday Clutter. I don't know how it's possible that yesterday was my first... Read more →
