Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you doing? I'm still trying to figure out the basics of my iPhone. The current challenge is figuring out how to set my alarm for repeat instead of having to turn it on each night. I appreciate all of the bells and whistles, but it's still hard to ignore the fact that an eight-year old BlackBerry battery runs as well as a brand new iPhone battery. However, enough griping, because it's time to get to work. Help yourself to a nice medium iced DD, and let's clear out a little Wednesday Clutter. It would... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Before we begin, I'd just like to thank everyone for your kind words of support after yesterday's big reveal. This whole iPhone thing is still a new world for me, but with your help, and the support of BDH and Little Buddha, I will make my way through this challenge and learn how to do important things like type a two sentence email in under 20 minutes. Until then, make yourself comfortable, help yourself to a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some Tuesday Clutter. Let me start this off by saying that I have... Read more →

Hi kids, Did you think we were done for the day after this morning's stunning news? Come on now, there's still headlines to be reviewed. Tell your boss you're going on a conference call, then shut your door, grab that nice medium iced DD, and let's clear out a little Monday afternoon Clutter, shall we? We shall. Tyler Seguin did a wonderful job of making the Boston Bruins management look good for trading him out of town, after he posted a homophobic tweet Saturday night. Seguin claimed that the tweet came from those ever-mischievous "hackers" who are always responsible for... Read more →

Hi everyone, Happy Monday to you all. We'd like to kick things off this week by announcing a big change at Clutter Headquarters. For those of you who know us well, this will come as a large shock, so make yourself comfortable, help yourself to a nice medium iced DD, and let's get to the big announcement. The sun will rise, and the sun will fall, and that's all we know for sure about each day. No matter how confident we feel about the security of the world around us, change is an ever-looming presence. We may see it coming... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How's your day going so far? Mine got off to a great start when I spotted a bunny on the way to my gym. Needless to say, Clutter Headquarters is not located in a bunny-heavy area, so that was a nice treat. I tried to get a picture, but I couldn't get a good one without walking deep into my neighbor's front yard, and I didn't think that would be appreciated. So that was this morning's excitement. I'm thinking about a bike ride this afternoon, but I'm not sure if it's supposed to rain or not,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How's your day going so far? It's pretty damn hot out there. I dragged myself to the gym this morning, and realized once I got there that I left my wallet back at Clutter Headquarters. That meant walking back after my workout, getting my wallet, and then walking to the supermarket. Long story short, I'm five pounds lighter now than I was when I woke up. However, BDH and Little Buddha already have the A/C on, and the iced coffee ready to go, so help yourself to a cup, and let's clear out some Saturday Clutter.... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How was your 4th? I went for a bike ride a little before 9:00, was finished just after 10:00 and stopped sweating somewhere around 1:00. It was ugly, but it was good. BDH and Little Buddha had a great time hanging out in front of the A/C all day. I have to say, they lead a pretty good life. Anyway, let's get to work. Help yourself to a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Friday Clutter. One of the great mysteries of modern life is how the Boston Red Sox management convinced... Read more →

Originally published: July 4, 2012 Hi everyone, Happy 4th of July to you all. BDH, Little Buddha and I are trying to figure out if we want to go to the movies today. Either way, you're welcome to come back tonight if you want to watch the fireworks with us. (Note: We keep the volume down on the TV, because the two of them don't like loud noises.) In the meantime, have a great day, enjoy this bit of Classic Real American Clutter, and we'll see you back here again for more fun soon. Originally published: July 2, 2011 Hi... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Quick show of hands -- how many of you took today and/or Friday off? I have a sneaking suspicion I'll be one of the only people in the office today. Hmm, maybe I'l take BDH and Little Buddha to a movie. Who's going to know? I think "Man of Steel" is playing at 11:55. Anyway, we've got business to take care of first. Help yourself to a nice medium iced DD, because it's time to clear out a little Wednesday Clutter. I'm as surprised as you are, but John Lackey continues to look better and better,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. What's the latest? Week going okay so far? This is an odd one, since the 4th is on a Thursday, but many/most offices are open on Friday, so it's sort of a short week, but it doesn't really feel like it. Maybe I should do a small BBQ for BDH and Little Buddha. Thoughts? Anyway, enough of that silliness. Help yourself to a nice medium iced DD, and let's clear out a little Tuesday Clutter. My heart goes out to the family and friends of the 19 Arizona firefighters who were killed in the line of... Read more →
