Hi folks, Welcome back. How are you? Our crew is doing pretty well at the moment. Don't tell BDH and Little Buddha, but I found a list of books being released in the next month, and there are a couple that sound like good matches for the guys. Fingers crossed the local bookstore carries them, otherwise I may have to visit one of the big chain stores in the area. We wanted to watch multiple things at the same time last night, so we kept channel flipping and missed Chicago Med, stayed focused for Chicago Fire, and went to bed... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back! How are you? Is it just me, or did September fly by this year? I don't usually think of it as a month that passes quickly, but it feels like it was just August a second ago. Anyway, no luck at the bookstore yesterday. BDH and Little Buddha say not to worry about it, but I'd love to find them something new to read, and soon. At least NBC's "One Chicago" shows are new tonight. In the meantime, let's get to work. The guys made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back! How are you? Our crew was just discussing how we think fall officially starts once the high temperatures stop reaching 70 degrees. That means it arrived yesterday, because all we see are the 60's for the long-range forecast. Guess we should bring out the jeans. Boooo. Of course, given that today is Tuesday, I'm off to the bookstore to check out the new releases once we're done here. It would be really nice to find BDH and Little Buddha something fun to read, especially since we're done with Lucifer. Fingers crossed. First things first, let's go... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. Did you enjoy the rest of your weekend? Yesterday was fine, but there was a little issue last night. I kept waking up because I thought I heard something in my bedroom, and I finally had to turn on the light at 2:00 in the morning. Couldn't pinpoint what it was, but the most likely candidate seemed to be something (a mouse?) in the closet. Didn't have the energy to deal with that in the middle of the night, so I just shut the closet door tight and eventually... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Weekend going okay so far? No complaints on this end. I'm looking forward to my gum surgery completely healing, but that's still probably at least a week away, so the soft food diet continues. Bring on the yogurt. We didn't get the rain that we were expecting yesterday, so I had a little garden time, which is always nice. There are a few late arrivals, and those flowers are also welcome to stay as long as they like. It looks pretty gloomy outside, but BDH and Little Buddha say the sun should be out later...

As Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall prepare for their final Doctor Who series later this year, we've argued that finding the right showrunner to replace Chibnall is more important than identifying Whittaker's successor as the Doctor. Chibnall seems to have little idea of who the 13th Doctor is, and where the show is going, which has resulted in a lot of drifting. Well, BBC just corrected course with the bombshell announcement that Russell T. Davies is returning as the Doctor Who boss in 2023! We had to double-check to make sure it wasn't a parody website, but it's legit! Davies... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. Any big plans for the weekend? I was hoping to do some gardening work, but the weather forecast doesn't look great, so we'll see about that. Yesterday was productive, though. I got my flu shot and encourage you all to do the same. Hopefully that's not going to turn into its own political fight this winter. Also, we finally watched the Lucifer series finale. I figured out about 60% of it ahead of time, and maybe should have known the remainder, but in any case, it was a fitting... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? Happy belated first day of fall. Think we were in a little bit of denial about that yesterday. Sorry we're running a bit late today. BDH and Little Buddha decided we needed to catch up on some sleep, so they turned off the alarm again. Can't say they were wrong. They always know when we need a bit of a reset, so now we're firing on all cylinders and ready to tackle the day. Maybe we'll finally watch the Lucifer series finale...but maybe not. We're just not prepared for the show to end.... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Our crew is doing well, but we need some entertainment help. To start with, I didn't have any luck at the bookstore yesterday. There just wasn't anything that seemed like a good fit for BDH and Little Buddha. Also, we're down to the series finale of Lucifer, so what should we do next? Shoot us a note at [email protected] if you have any suggestions about what we could read/watch after we decompress from the end of the show. At least NBC's "One Chicago" returns tonight. For now, let's check out the headlines and see what's... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Week going okay so far? No complaints here. Still have the chipmunk cheek, but it gets better each day, so that's fine. Yesterday was productive. Between the cooling temperatures, and a need to take care of other things over the next few weeks, I think I'm probably done with house painting for this year. That was a fun little adventure. Of course, I'm off to the bookstore to check out the new releases for BDH and Little Buddha as soon as we're done here. Really hope I find something, because we only have three episodes... Read more →
