Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? Good luck to anyone who is traveling today. I was dreading having to be on the road yesterday, especially because it was also raining. However, the traffic wasn't that bad, and only one or two drivers acted like idiots. We also handled everything on the long to-do list, which was satisfying. BDH and Little Buddha said it all went so well, there are only a handful of items to take care of today, and none of them require any driving. Works for me. Are you ready to check out the headlines? Let's do... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? BDH and Little Buddha tried their best to avoid this, but it looks like I have to do some running around today which involves both holiday traffic and potentially freezing rain. Not thrilled about that, but there really doesn't seem to be any way around it. The guys reminded me that the key is to not be in a rush for any part of the errands, and to drive carefully. They also said not to worry about visiting the bookstore - we'll get back that next week. For now, let's take a peek... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. We hope you had a good weekend. BDH and Little Buddha have been working hard on this week's to-do list. Thanksgiving brings its own chaos, and the guys really don't like the weather forecasts for tomorrow and Thursday. Freezing rain and holiday traffic feels like a bad combination, so the guys are trying to figure out how to minimize the stress. Today's errands are pretty straightforward, and it should be dry, so we'll start with that. First, let's check out the headlines. There's a fresh pot of coffee on... Read more →

The reveal of the Fugitive Doctor's existence in 2020 is one of the great jaw-dropping moments in the history of Doctor Who. Then-showrunner Chris Chibnall took a huge creative swing by revising the Doctor's history to create room for a completely new take on the Time Lord (including the whole "Timeless Child" idea overall.) It was a brilliant way to open all sorts of possibilities for a character the world has been watching since 1963. The Fugitive Doctor is still somewhat of a work in progress, but we know she can be curt, and she has a short fuse. She's... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. We've gotten a fair amount of rain over the last 24 hours, which is good. It just ended, but BDH and Little Buddha say some more should come tomorrow, which is great, because we sure do need it. Oh, and the Amazon package we were waiting for yesterday came at noon, long before the 10:00 p.m. deadline, which made BDH and Little Buddha twice as happy. The guys need their sleep, and staying up late is generally not their thing. What's on tap for this weekend? We have a... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? BDH and Little Buddha are keeping an eye on the weather forecast to make sure it still calls for rain for most of today. We usually wouldn't be rooting so hard for precipitation, but it's way too dry around here. The to-do list isn't that long, and the biggest item is really just waiting for an Amazon delivery to arrive. It's currently scheduled to get here by 10:00 tonight. However, that's well past our crew's bedtime, so hopefully it will be closer to somewhere near 5:00 at the latest. Anyway, let's get started. There's a... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? No luck at the bookstore yesterday. I skimmed through Bill Clinton and Cher's new memoirs, but neither seemed quite right for BDH and Little Buddha. Hopefully we'll find something next week. The guys were unfazed - they're focusing on the fact that tomorrow's weather forecast calls for some much-needed rain. That means I should probably take care of a little bit of yard work this afternoon after I finish everything else on today's to-do list. Are you ready to check out the headlines? Let's do it. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter,... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Our crew is off to a decent enough start this morning. Monday was actually okay, and now BDH and Little Buddha are finalizing today's to-do list. I'm off to the local independent bookstore to check out the new releases for the guys once we're done here. That's one of our favorite parts of the week, although it sounds like I might have to fight my way through the wind to get there. Other than that, I think it's just a few random errands and a chance to enjoy the decent weather while we still can.... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. How was your weekend? Ours was fine. BDH and Little Buddha just said they're going to ease me into the new week with a moderate to-do list. I've got no problem with that, unless it means they're expecting the rest of them to jam-packed or something. Hmm... Anyway, let's get started. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Clutter. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-Oklahoma) said the House Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz should... Read more →

The music world was shocked when Linkin Park front man Chester Bennington died from suicide on July 20, 2017. The nu metal band had been a dominant force on the charts right from the start with their debut album Hybrid Theory in 2000. Their aggressive songs (a combination of rap and hard/pop rock) largely dealing with alienation, felt like a combination of movie anthems, entrance songs, and tunes that were designed specifically for crowd sing-alongs, and every one of them made a great addition to your gym mix. The group was on a roll, and suddenly everything came to a... Read more →
