Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! What's on tap for the weekend? I don't think there's anything too crazy happening on this end, apart from hanging out in the garden as much as possible. That should be fun, now that the temperatures have finally dropped back to a more reasonable range for the time being. Last night was the best sleep I've gotten all week. BDH and Little Buddha say today's high will only be 68 degrees, and that sounds fantastic. You know what sounds even better? The guys also say the coffee is ready.... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Our crew is loving the fact that it's currently 66 degrees in the office, and the high temperature is only supposed to reach the lower 70's today. The last few days were rough! I think I had heat stroke every time I stepped away from the fan for more than 30 seconds yesterday. Thankfully, BDH and Little Buddha were great about making sure I stayed hydrated. They really do everything around here. Now that it's a little cooler, I might actually take care of a few things on the to-do list, besides just going to... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? I apparently need to relearn how to deal with/sleep in the summer heat again. The last couple of days have been rough! Oof. There's another heat advisory from Noon - 8:00 tonight, so it looks like BDH, Little Buddha, and I will remain close to the fans and drink plenty of water. Also, I struck out again at the bookstore yesterday. Please drop us a line at info@clearingouttheclutter if you have any reading suggestions for our duo. Speaking of reading, the guys say they're eager to get to work and read the headlines.... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? It was another night of challenging sleep, thanks to the low of 72 degrees and heavy humidity, but we're hanging in there this morning. BDH and Little Buddha say we've got thunderstorms coming this afternoon and evening, so that should at least squeeze some moisture out of the air. Should we take bets on whether or not tonight's Red Sox game will be cancelled? I usually average one cancellation/rain delay per season, so this might be the one. We'll see. Of course, the priority after we're done here is making it over to... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? Had enough of the heat already? Yesterday ended up being fairly productive, even though I was dragging for a good part of the day. I slept better last night, so I'm out the door to take care of today's errands as soon as we're done here, and then BDH, Little Buddha, and I will find a cool place to hang out for a while, because we have heat advisory starting at Noon. It's still going to be in the 80's by bedtime tonight, which is rough. However, the guys say we just have... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? I'm moving a little slowly at the moment. Not entirely sure why, but I did not sleep well last night. A good portion of it was probably about trying to adjust to the heat, but I just couldn't get comfortable, and I saw the clock at least once an hour. BDH and Little Buddha say there are more warm temperatures to come today, and tomorrow is looking like a scorcher, so I better 1) take care of the errands soon, and 2) see how we're doing for sunscreen. However, let's check out the... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! Any big plans for the weekend? Not sure what's on the schedule, but I do know that today's focus is on doing a little office cleaning. I've let that get away from me a little bit recently, so that's going to get fixed as soon as we're done here. It helps that the forecast calls for rain this afternoon, so it should be easy to stay inside anyway. First, let's see what's going on in the world. BDH and Little Buddha made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium... Read more →

A number of celebrities we enjoy here have passed away in the last couple of years, and one of the biggest losses is that of chef/author/TV star Anthony Bourdain, who died from suicide in 2018. From a personal perspective, not having the opportunity to read more of his writing is a huge blow. Bourdain's storytelling left us spellbound time and time again. Whether he was talking about cooking, restaurants, travel, or his own personal history (warts and all), it was always the same result - we wished the book had another 300 pages. Of course, even that wouldn't have been... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? I'm just waiting for BDH and Little Buddha to come in with the weather forecast for the day. Ah, here they are. They say it will be cloudy, with highs in the 70's, and a slight chance of rain. We can work with that. The guys also say the birds are chirping because they want to hear about today's headlines, so we should get right to it. Let's not keep them waiting any longer. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Week going okay so far? I struck out at the bookstore yesterday, so that was disappointing. The funny part was that the cashier once again recognized me as the guy who is always there first thing on Tuesday mornings to check out the new releases. However, it was all downhill after that. There has to be something out, or at least coming out soon, that would be a good fit for BDH and Little Buddha. The guys told me not to worry about it. They say they're already looking forward to next week's trip, but... Read more →
