Hi everyone, How are you? We're doing pretty well at the moment. I took care of most of the shoveling yesterday, but it looks like there's at least one more round to do once we're done here. BDH and Little Buddha just told me to make sure to bundle up, because the wind chill will be about 9 degrees. Yikes. They also said if I don't like that, then I probably don't want to know the rest of the forecast between now and next Monday. The guys are right. I'm not prepared to deal with any of that right now,... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? We're doing well. BDH and Little Buddha were just checking the latest weather forecast. It sounds like we're now expecting 3-6 inches of snow, and there are warnings about hazardous road conditions this morning. Fortunately, today's errands are all within walking distance, and they're not time-sensitive. I'll work my way through the to-do list, and then we'll see what's going on with the shoveling situation. Sounds like a solid plan. 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 Tuesday... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. We hope you're enjoying the long weekend. Our crew had fun watching both of yesterday's NFL playoff games, but we'll get to that in a bit. The Lions-Rams game kept us up too late, so I'm a little tired this morning. However, BDH and Little Buddha suspect I'll wake up as soon as I step outside later this morning, because the wind chill factor will be about 16 degrees. Yikes. We just had a quick staff meeting about whether or not it makes sense to punt on the errands,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What's on tap for the weekend? I don't know if we have anything too crazy on the schedule. It sounds like there's some heavy winds and rain coming tonight, but it should be over by noon on Saturday. That might mean just a handful of errands in the afternoon and/or watching the NFL playoff games. As for Sunday...same plan, really. Works for me. Now, let's check out today's headlines. BDH and Little Buddha just made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Our crew is okay at the moment. Yesterday was a bit of a slog, but I slept a little better last night, so here's hoping today goes smoothly. It's remarkable how every little task can become a struggle when you're exhausted. BDH and Little Buddha say today's to-do list isn't that long, but I'll need to bundle up, because the wind chill will keep the temperatures in the 20's. It's not supposed to snow though, so that's a fair trade. If I play my cards right, there might even be time for a nap. First,... Read more →

Hi everyone, How is your week going so far? Yesterday was productive, although I might have stopped running errands a little earlier than I had to because of weather concerns. Better safe than sorry, though. Now, we're waiting for this rain to end, and then it's right back to work. BDH and Little Buddha say the temperature will be in the mid-40's today, but the wind chill will drop that down a few degrees. At least icy roads won't be a concern. It feels like January is a little cranky right now, or maybe that's just me, because I didn't... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? We started the week with a lot of running around yesterday, and it sounds like it might be more of the same today. Hold on, BDH and Little Buddha say the forecast now calls for more snow to start falling around 4:00 this afternoon. Not sure we'll get through the whole to-do list if that's the case. However, it's supposed to turn to rain overnight, so hopefully we can deal with whatever is left on Wednesday. Sounds like a plan. The guys say the first thing we need to do is check out...

Hi everyone, How was your weekend? Things were fine on this end. It looks like the weather forecast was right this time, because we got somewhere around eight inches of snow. I shoveled yesterday morning, and had every intention of going back outside after the Patriots game was over, but...that didn't happen. Thus, I need to do another round before tackling today's to-do list. First, let's check out the headlines. BDH and Little Buddha just made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Monday Clutter. We have teamed up with Clearly Balanced... Read more →

General Hospital premiered on April 1, 1963, and it's still going strong, even after so many other daytime soap operas have long faded away into history. Multiple generations of families have watched the adventures of the residents of the fictional Port Charles, NY. They continue to do so today, which is why it was fitting that ABC (belatedly) recently honored that legacy with a prime time special: General Hospital: 60 Years of Stars and Storytelling (which is now streaming on Hulu.) It was a fun celebration, although it easily could have been two hours. So many famous names have passed... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What's the plan for the weekend? It appears we'll have the first real snow of the winter to deal with at some point. The start time and total projections seem to keep moving, but I think a few errands need to be taken care of early on Saturday, and then it's shoveling time on Sunday. I should probably start stretching this afternoon. First things first, let's check out the headlines. BDH and Little Buddha just made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear... Read more →
