Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? Our crew is doing well at the moment. Last night was the best sleep I've had in about a week, so I'm ready for whatever BDH and Little Buddha put on today's to-do list. The guys say the list isn't that long, but that I should try to finish it before it starts raining this afternoon. Can do. I struck out with the new releases at the bookstore yesterday, but that's fine. The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine arrived in the mail, and that almost counts as a mini-book (and it has...

Hi everyone, How are you? BDH and Little Buddha were just telling me the weather forecast. Today sounds like it should be okay, although a bit windy. The guys say tomorrow and Friday might be a little on the ugly side, with perhaps up to six inches of wet and heavy snow. That's a shame. I think there will be time to get to the bookstore today to check out the new releases. However, it's good those two already have something to read if we need to stay inside for a while. In better news, tonight's "One Chicago" shows are... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? BDH and Little Buddha are working on today's to-do list. I think it's just the usual errands, but we'll see if they come up with anything extra. (They're real taskmasters, you know.) Yesterday's shoveling was no big deal, and now it sounds like I could have skipped it altogether, because today's highs are supposed to be in the mid-40's. I'm not sure if we'll make it to the bookstore to check out the new releases today, but the guys say that's fine. They're still working on their current book. Anyway, let's get to work. There's...

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How was the rest of your weekend? Yesterday was quiet here, which was perfect. Today might be more the same, which would also be just fine. It's nice to ease into the week every now and again. It looks like some shoveling might be required this afternoon, but we'll see. We had some technical difficulties first thing this morning, which was a little nerve-wracking. However, our crack IT squad (i.e. BDH and Little Buddha) have everything up and running again, so let's get to work. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Are you enjoying your weekend so far? Yesterday was productive on this end. However, I didn't sleep that well last night, so today might be a little slower. BDH and Little Buddha say that's fine, because there isn't much on today's to-do list besides laundry and watching some playoff football. The guys think there's plenty of time to sneak in a nap somewhere if needed. Plus, today's wind chill factor is in the lower 20's, so who really wants to go outside anyway? Those two always have the right outlook on life. They also make... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday the 13th to you all. Feels like it's been a while since we've had one of these. Today's schedule is pretty low-key, so hopefully our luck will be fine while we take care of a few things. Speaking of errands, what's on tap for the weekend? Nothing too crazy here, apart from watching some NFL playoff games. I wish the Patriots were playing of course, but it will be nice to enjoy the drama of the games without being nauseous the whole time. Now, let's get to work. BDH and Little Buddha... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Our crew is doing well. BDH and Little Buddha started reading Prince Harry's new memoir last night. It looks like this will hold their attention for a while, so that's good. I just realized that BDH's birthday is a little over a month away, so I need to start thinking about a present for him. Any suggestions? In any case, the guys just told me that today's rain is now supposed to start earlier than previously expected. It could make things icy, which would change today's schedule a bit. Well, worse comes to worst, we'll... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? BDH and Little Buddha were right - we had time to take care of all of yesterday's errands and still make it to the bookstore. To make things even better, I found something for them to read! Their new project is tackling Prince Harry's memoir, "Spare." They're excited to get started on it. Plus, to top everything off - there are new "One Chicago" episodes on tonight, so really, we're humming along at the moment. Of course, the day starts with checking out the headlines with all of you. There's a fresh pot... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? BDH and Little Buddha just handed me today's to-do list. It's a little longer than I was expecting. I'm not sure we're going to make it to the bookstore today, but the guys think there's enough time for everything. They're usually right about these things, so we'll see. They also just said we're looking at a wind chill factor of about 20 degrees this morning. That doesn't sound like fun. Other than that, things are fine here. Are you ready to check out the headlines? There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. Did you have a good weekend? No complaints on this end, apart from the Patriots game, but we'll get to that in a bit. BDH and Little Buddha were just working on today's to-do list. It will take a while to get through everything, but there's no need to rush on any of them, so we can try to ease into the new week. Works for me. First, let's check out the headlines. The guys made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Monday Clutter. Now that Kevin... Read more →
