Longtime readers know that the Clutter staff runs on Dunkin', and we would not be able to write our posts without that first morning cup. (Note to DD HQ: You owe us for 13 years of free publicity.) Years ago in another professional life, we used to buy a medium or large with milk and sugar, once or twice a day. However, we switched over to black as part of "the great diet reset of 2014." It was just easier on the body. We also mostly limit our choices to French Vanilla or Dark Roast. No fancy flavors for us,... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Our crew is doing fine at the moment, although we had a bit of an adventure last night. The heat came on while we were getting ready for bed (which was good.) However, I thought I smelled a gas leak (not so great.) The gas company came out promptly, and fortunately it was a false alarm. However, we ended up getting to sleep much later than usual because of all of the excitement, so we're moving a little slowly this morning. Also, I struck out with the new releases at the bookstore yesterday, but BDH... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? BDH and Little Buddha were just giving me today's weather forecast. It's only about 24 degrees right now, but at least the wind has died down, so that's an improvement. Sounds like the high will be about 40 degrees. That's okay for the end of November. I think I'll still probably check out this week's new releases at the bookstore, even though the guys have only just started their latest book. Couldn't hurt to see the options, and who knows, maybe I'll find some Christmas presents. Big news: We now have a Patreon page! Please... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your Thanksgiving weekend. Everything was fine on this end, although it's always a little confusing when the Patriots aren't playing on Sunday. They face the Buffalo Bills this Thursday as well, so there's some more discombobulation on the way, but we'll deal with that later. We're shifting into Christmas mode now, and BDH and Little Buddha are already working on their list. However, they're taking a break from that so we can all sort through today's headlines together. There's a fresh pot... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. Did you have a good Thanksgiving? I had a lovely time with Dad Clutter, even though the New England Patriots ended the day on a down note, which made their game seem even later. I'd vote for any presidential candidate who would mandate that nighttime football games start no later than 6:00. Some of us need our beauty sleep. Definitely moving slowly this morning as a result, but BDH and Little Buddha promised to keep today's to-do list short. They also said they'd make the coffee a little stronger... Read more →

Hi everyone, On behalf of BDH, Little Buddha, and myself, we wish you all a happy Thanksgiving! We remain thankful for your friendship and hope you have a terrific day. If you are on your own today, we are thinking of you and hope you will indulge in some self-care. This will generally be a quiet day for us until dinner time and the Patriots game. The to-do list is short, and everything is closed anyway, so maybe the guys will have a chance to start their new book. First, let's check out the headlines. There's a fresh pot of... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Thanksgiving Eve to you. Before we get started, BDH, Little Buddha, and I want to wish good luck to anyone who is traveling today. Whether you're driving or flying, we hope things go smoothly. I have to make a quick run to the grocery store later, because Dad Clutter needs coffee. (See, it runs in the family.) Hopefully it won't be too crazy in there as everyone does their last minute shopping. First, let's get to work. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD,...

Hi everyone, How are you? Our crew was just doing our morning stretches to get the old blood flowing. I wasn't feeling much of a productive vibe after we said goodbye to you yesterday. However, I cleared the to-do list, so that felt particularly good. Definitely off to a better start this morning, so I'm ready to go as soon as BDH and Little Buddha give me the updated errands. Did I tell you that I finally found the guys a new book to read last week? What a relief. They haven't had a chance to start it yet, but... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. We hope you had a great weekend. It was a little rough on this end. We didn't fully resolve our heat issues until Saturday afternoon, which was distracting. However, things finally seem to be working like they should, so hopefully that's the end of that hassle. BDH and Little Buddha just told me we're looking at a high of 36 degrees, with a "real feel" of 28 today. I might push a few errands off until tomorrow, when it's supposed to be a little warmer. In the meantime, we're... Read more →

We've spent most of our time since the end of "The Power of the Doctor" wondering what is next for our favorite Time Lord. The Doctor once again looks like David Tennant, and he will be reuniting with Donna Noble (played by Catherine Tate) during the 60th anniversary specials in 2023. How is any of that possible? It's enough to keep a Doctor Who fan's imagination busy for the next year all by itself. However, now we also have to ask what lies ahead for the Doctor after he regenerates into Ncuti Gatwa at the end of this mini-Tennant return,... Read more →
