Hi everyone, Welcome back, a happy New Year's Eve to you all, and congratulations on making it through the year. What's your plan for the evening? We don't have anything too crazy scheduled on this end. BDH and Little Buddha gave me a short to-do list, which includes our final trip of 2024 to the local bookstore. There's a terrific pizza place near there, so I think I'll grab us some dinner, and then we'll all settle in to watch the annual Twilight Zone marathon. Sounds perfect. We're going to take tomorrow off as usual, while we celebrate what would... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. Did you have a good weekend? Ours was fine, although I had to drive through some serious fog going to, and coming back from, Dad Clutter's house yesterday. The ride home was particularly challenging, because there are some stretches on that route which aren't well-lit. BDH and Little Buddha said the fog is supposed to last until later this morning, so be careful on your commute if you have to deal with it. The guys also gave me today's to-do list. It's not that bad, which is nice, because... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. Did you have a good Christmas?* BDH and Little Buddha were thrilled to get a 12th Doctor Funko Pop! figure. They put it next to our 10th Doctor and TARDIS ornaments (which I suspect may now be out all year) and had all sorts of imaginary adventures, while our Eddie Van Halen Pop! figure provided the soundtrack. These guys were clearly once again on Santa's good list, like they are every year. (*Happy Hanukkah to everyone celebrating!) There will be time for more adventures later, but we wanted to...

Doctor Who fans got the present they were waiting for with this year's Christmas special, "Joy to the World." It's just not the holidays until we see the Time Lord off on a frequently solo adventure that allows him to tap into the spirit of the season. Written by former showrunner Steven Moffat, the 15th Doctor is working through some issues by himself when he lands in a mysterious Time Hotel. The luxury building allows its visitors to stay in different moments in history, rather than a generic room. What follows is a fun, but rushed, 56-minute-long adventure. (Warning: There...

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? Our crew is putting the final touches on our Christmas preparations. BDH and Little Buddha just noticed I forgot to wrap one of Dad Clutter's presents. It's a good thing they double-check my work. The guys also just let me know that we're still expecting a little bit of snow later this morning, so I will need to do some shoveling. Other than that, I'm hoping today/tonight will be pretty quiet. ICYMI - our crew will probably be out of the office tomorrow and Thursday and then back to say hello on Friday.... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. We hope you had a good weekend. BDH and Little Buddha are trying to figure out both today's to-do list, as well as this week's schedule. I think we only have two errands to run, so I'll probably wait until the wind chill factor climbs up into positive numbers again before I took care of those. (It was -6 degrees when I got home last night. Not fun.) As far as the rest of the week goes, the guys say the current plan is for us to be here... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What's on tap for the weekend? We'll watch the New England Patriots game on Sunday, as the season mercifully starts to wind down. Besides that, the biggest task will likely just be staying warm, because we're seeing a whole lot of wind chill factors that top out in the low single digits. Yikes. Today's weather forecast keeps fluctuating, which is making planning a little challenging. BDH and Little Buddha said the latest predictions call for scattered snow showers for most of the day, but now with no rain. I'll... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. BDH and Little Buddha were just telling me that the latest weather forecast now calls for some snow tomorrow. It should only be 3-4 inches, but we may still have to reorder the to-do list for both today and Friday. Hmm...well, we'll figure that out later, and then the guys can go back to playing with the Doctor Who ornaments some more. (Christmas came early for those two, because they've spent the last few days imagining they've been traveling through time and space.) Now, let's get to the headlines. There's a fresh pot of coffee on... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? The week is humming along on this end. I struck out at the bookstore yesterday, but BDH and Little Buddha don't mind. They're still having a blast using our new Doctor Who Christmas ornaments for their own imaginary adventures. Today's to-do list only has a couple of items, but they will probably take up most of the day. One of the assignments is to finally start wrapping presents. (I still think that's to keep me busy while the guys pretend they're traveling with the 10th Doctor in the TARDIS.) First things first, let's check out... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? I have to say, yesterday was pretty good, as far as Mondays go. I cleared through the to-do list, while BDH and Little Buddha spent the day playing with our new Doctor Who Christmas ornaments. Today is starting off well, because apparently I misunderstood the weather forecast. I thought it was supposed to rain all day, but it should actually be done by the time we're finished here. Excellent. 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 →
