Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. This was yet another week that went by in a flash. Where did the first quarter of this year go? Anyway, what's on tap for the weekend? I'm not sure what we're doing, apart from the the usual errands and probably watching a Red Sox game or two. Of course, tomorrow is April Fool's Day, but our crew made a pact not to play any jokes on each other. Good luck to you if you have a prank in the works. There's a small chance we'll be out of...

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are things? We had a wild and crazy day yesterday, let me tell you. Our big project was moving a large plant so it could lean up against one of the walls in the office for more support. That meant a little reorganizing of a few other plants, and now this space feels like it's 25% bigger. We are out of control, I tell you. Now the guys are just waiting for the Boston Red Sox home opener to start, but we'll get back to that in a minute. Let's check out the headlines first.... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? The week is moving right along over here. I found a new book for BDH and Little Buddha to dive into after they finish their current one, so they're excited. Also, we have new "One Chicago" shows to check out tonight, so yeah, no complaints from our crew. Is it just me, or has March gone by in flash? Maybe I've just blocked out all of the snow we got right at the start of the month, but it seems like it was just February. I don't want to get too far ahead of myself,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How's your week going so far? We're doing fine on this end, although it's raining a little at the moment. However, BDH and Little Buddha think that will stop by the time we're done here, so it doesn't sound like I'll get soaked doing today's errands. That's always nice. The guys are cruising through their latest book, so hopefully I'll find something in the new releases section this week. (Note: We're always taking recommendations at [email protected] Send us any titles you think our crew would enjoy.) Should we check out the headlines? Let's do it. There's... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. How was the rest of your weekend? Things went well here. Despite my urge to procrastinate, I finished our taxes yesterday and did it with enough time left to get a head start on today's errands. I thought that might buy me a quiet afternoon, but BDH and Little Buddha just amended the list. Real taskmasters, those two. The first item is to check out the headlines with all of you, so let's get to it. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Weekend going okay so far? Things are fine on this end at the moment. I took care of a couple of errands yesterday morning, and then BDH and Little Buddha spent most of the afternoon reading their new book. They're loving it so far, so keep an eye out for a full review some point in the next few weeks. Pretty sure we have a quiet day ahead of us today (unless I just jinxed it.) The top task is to continue working on our taxes, but it probably wouldn't take much to get me... Read more →

Hi everyone, Happy Friday! What a crazy week. Monday feels like it was a month ago. What's on tap for the weekend? Probably nothing too crazy on this end. It would be good if I can finish up our taxes. They're mostly done, I think they just need one more review. Other than that, yeah, nothing too out of control. BDH and Little Buddha are excited to watch the season finale of Daisy Jones & the Six tonight. Not having read the book, our sense is that the series should continue after this, but let's see how tonight goes. (Hold... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? Sorry we were out of the office yesterday. Dad Clutter and I had to get an early start on our errands. There was a fair amount of running around, but we cleared through the list, so cheers to us. BDH and Little Buddha say it's supposed to rain for a good portion of today. That's okay - I don't have as many items to get through this afternoon. Oh, and I fixed the problem that I previously said could turn into a lingering issue. Long story short, the "help" desk was useless, and... Read more →

The wait is finally over! Wolfgang Van Halen has been recently saying in interviews that he was almost finished recording Mammoth WVH's second album. He posted a tease on social media last week referring to "3.22.23," which we hoped was a reference to the release of a new song. Sure enough, it's here, and the talented musician knocked it out of the park once again with, "Another Celebration at the End of the World." Update: Here's the official video. Looks like Wolfgang gets his comedic acting chops from his mom: The full album, Mammoth II, is scheduled to be released... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? We're all doing fine, but this week got off to an uneven start yesterday. I crushed the to-do list in the morning, and it looked like smooth sailing for the rest of the day. However, the afternoon had other plans and threw a couple of curveballs our way. One was resolved, but the other has the potential to be a lingering issue, so we'll see. BDH and Little Buddha are encouraging me to focus on how much we got done and then see if we can match it today, while we wait for that other... Read more →
