Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What a crazy week. After a couple of false starts, the car is finally back to 100%. The mechanic had to reset the new sensor yesterday, so now the warning light is off, and we should be good for a while. I was working on about five hours of sleep yesterday, so that was ugly. However, last night was much better, so much like the car, my internal clock has been reset, and we're ready to go today. What's on tap for the weekend? BDH and Little Buddha say... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? The adventure of the car repair continues. I got the car back from the mechanic yesterday, but a light is still on, so I have to call them this morning. Hopefully it's no big deal. I need this resolved today, because BDH and Little Buddha tell me the coming winter storm is supposed to hit tonight and go until some point on Saturday. (The guys also warn me that snow is in the forecast right around Christmas, which may impact our schedule here, but we'll get back to that next week.) In more positive news,... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back. How's your week going so far? The car still wasn't ready last night, but the mechanic said it would be all set first thing this morning. I'm looking forward to finally tackling some of the items on this week's to-do list. I just have to walk over to the garage when we're done here. That's a little bit of a hike, and BDH and Little Buddha just told me the the windchill factor will be about 11 degrees. Yikes, what is this, mid-December or something? There are no new "One Chicago" shows on tonight, but that's... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Things are a little disorganized here at the moment. I thought we'd be out of the office today, because I was hoping to get the car back from the mechanic first thing this morning. However, he just called to say the new goal is for everything to be resolved by the end of the day. That completely throws off today's to-do list, and now most of the errands have to be bumped to tomorrow. Of course, BDH and Little Buddha didn't miss a beat. They said this means we can now check out the headlines... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. Friends, we need your help. I have to take the car to the mechanic as soon as we're done here this morning. The primary issue is an oil leak. However, a couple of other items have popped up since I made this appointment. Good times. Therefore, I need you all to send your best wishes that the mechanic is not about to take all of my money today. Let these issues all combine for a modest bill that doesn't require a bank loan to pay. Oh, and it would... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Weekend going okay so far? Our crew is fine, even though I messed up our schedule a bit. I was all set to tackle yesterday's to-do list, and then BDH and Little Buddha told me there was a 30% chance of snow. That was an unexpected development. I hate driving in snow, even if it's just a light coating, mostly because I don't trust other drivers. People drive like maniacs these days, even under good conditions. Add in the chance of slippery roads? Forget about it. I ended up punting on the list, so now... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What's the plan for the weekend? Our schedule is thrown off once again because the New England Patriots don't play until Monday night. Fortunately, they go back to Sunday afternoon games for the rest of the year after this. In any case, that leaves us with more time for Christmas shopping and maybe checking out our Disney+ subscription. We'll see. Now, let's take a peek at today's headlines. BDH and Little Buddha just made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some... Read more →

Hi everyone, How's your week going so far? We're plugging along on this end. I made it to the bookstore yesterday after all, but no luck with the new releases. BDH and Little Buddha say that's fine. They're excited because we finally subscribed to Disney+ yesterday. Doctor Who doesn't come to the streaming service until next year, but the price just went up today, so we decided not to wait any longer. I still want to make sure the guys have a reading option, but now we can also catch up on some MCU and Star Wars content. First, let's... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Sorry we missed you yesterday. Something came up which threw off the schedule. I also didn't get a chance to go to the bookstore to check out this week's new releases. That may have to wait until this weekend. Programming note: Tuesdays might be a bit of an issue for the rest of the month. We'll have to take it on a week-by-week basis. However, we're back now and excited to go through today's headlines with all of you on this rainy morning. BDH and Little Buddha just said the coffee is ready, so grab... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. I know, it's currently 18 degrees outside. That's not fun. However, BDH and Little Buddha say the temperatures will eventually reach 46, so that's something to look forward to this afternoon. I've got a few errands to take care of today, including visiting some local small businesses to try to come up with Christmas present ideas. Please send any suggestions for the guys to [email protected]. First, let's check out the headlines. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's...
