Hi everyone, Welcome back! Well, this is it, our final gathering for the year. Where did the time go? Overall, there's no doubt that this was better than last year, though that's an extremely low bar to clear. However, it's a start, and we look forward to an even better 2016. However, before that happens, we've got one last round of headlines to sort through. BDH and Little Buddha have the coffee ready, so help yourself to a nice medium DD, and let's have one more around of Clearing out the Clutter for 2015! With the final hours of the... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Wednesday to you all. Nice to see you survived yesterday's ugly weather without a scratch. I'm prepared to let that one go, as long as there isn't any more snow for at least another year. Otherwise, this could get ugly real quickly. In any case, we've only got two days left to 2015. There's no arguing with the calendar, though that still seems off. Do you have anything left that needs to be done this year? Apart from one doctors appointment, and a few errands, it seems like we're just about done here.... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, make yourself comfortable. It looks pretty ugly out there this morning. We would have had no problem not seeing any snow at all this winter, and the Clutter Tree doesn't look like he's enjoying it, but hopefully this won't last long. Just a heads-up, I slept rather poorly last night, so I asked BDH and Little Buddha to make the coffee a little stronger than usual. Speaking of those two, they've just arrived with the aforementioned caffeine. Thanks, guys. We've got all sorts of stories to cover, so help yourself to a nice... Read more →

Hi everyone, The calendar says we're coming down to the final days of 2015, so BDH, Little Buddha, and I decided that this would be a good time to take a moment to take a look back at some of our best stories this year. We spent hours reviewing the archives, and while we like to say every Clutter is the best we could do on a given day, these were our most favorite (and focused) posts. We couldn't rank them by popularity, because that would be like trying to decide a favorite child, so in chronological order, here is... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! What's new? Have a seat. How's your weekend going so far? Don't know if it was the end of the Christmas adrenaline rush, or the fact that one of us had roughly 10 cups of coffee on Friday, but it was a serious challenge to stay awake yesterday. Still managed to be somewhat productive, which was nice, but man alive, naps continually felt like the best option all day. However, we've managed to re-set the internal clock, so it's time to get to work. The coffee is ready, so help yourself to a nice medium DD,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? Did you have a good Christmas? It was a nice day on this end. BDH and Little Buddha had a blast opening their presents, though they might have had a little too much candy. After that, it was time to make the rounds to Dad Clutter's house, and then off to see the relatives (and their terrific dogs) for the annual holiday visit. A good time was had by all, and now it's time to take a breath and then take a quick look at the world around us. The coffee is ready,... Read more →

Hi everyone, The guys are playing with their presents, so I can't stay long, but on behalf of BDH, Little Buddha, the Clutter Tree, and our support staff at both Clutter Headquarters and the Northern Estate, we wish you all a very merry Christmas! We hope that Santa brought you everything you asked for, and that you all have a lovely day. The Neil Diamond Christmas album is playing right now (a longstanding Clutter tradition), so we'll let the man himself take us out with, "Little Drummer Boy" for today's, "Song of the Day." That's just awesome. In fact, I... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. Come on in, have a seat. Merry Christmas Eve to you all. Good luck to everyone who has to travel today, since that can always be a bit of an adventure. BDH and Little Buddha are running around asking when Santa is going to get here. I'm not sure if Little Buddha actually still believes in Santa, or if he's just humoring BDH, but it's cute to watch in any case. Speaking of the dynamic duo, they just made a fresh pot of coffee, so help yourself to a nice medium DD, and let's clear out... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? Things are fine on this end. Spent a good amount of time watching BBC America's Doctor Who marathon, and that's pretty close to the perfect Christmas present. Did I ever mention that Dad Clutter's final present made it here a few days ago? That's a relief. BDH and Little Buddha's presents are also all set, so I can just relax at this point. Phew! Ah, here comes the crew with the coffee. Thanks, guys. We've got plenty of ground to cover today, so help yourself to a nice medium DD, and let's clear... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? Feeling pretty good about today on this end. First off, the winter solstice began last night, which means we have reached the shortest amount of daylight of the year, which means that things can only (literally) get brighter now, and that's just all sorts of fantastic. Second, we just found out that BBC America is running a Doctor Who marathon for the next six days, starting this morning, so merry early Christmas to us! However, first things first. The coffee is ready, and we've got plenty of... Read more →
