Well, that was a memorable season finale. Let's discuss... Warning #1: Friends, we have tried to avoid giving away major spoilers all season. It's almost impossible to talk about this episode without some huge reveals, so head out now if you don't want to hear what happens. The Doctor, Belinda, Ruby, and the UNIT crew need to figure out a way to stop fellow Time Lord The Rani from resurrecting Omega to rebuild Gallifrey. The Doctor gets some help right away from a guest star who we are thrilled to see back in action. What follows is an exposition-heavy story... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What's the plan for this weekend, apart from celebrating June's arrival on Sunday? We have the Doctor Who season finale to watch tomorrow. I'm excited to see how the current story ends, but also a bit nervous about whether or not that's a wrap on Ncuti Gatwa's time as the Doctor. Plus, there are indications that it will be another multi-year wait before the show returns. Other than that, just hoping for some garden time after this next round of rain ends. BDH and Little Buddha are eager to... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. BDH, Little Buddha, and I were just revisiting today's weather forecast. We thought rain was likely for most of the day, but now it sounds like it will probably just be overcast with an occasional sprinkle. The question now is how much that changes today's to-do list. We'll probably still scrap the bike ride, and then we can see if there's a chance for some garden time later this afternoon. Other than that, it should be business as usual. Now that we've got that settled, let's check out the headlines. There's a fresh pot of coffee... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? BDH and Little Buddha were just giving me today's weather forecast. It sounds like it should be another lovely day, just like yesterday. That works for me, because apart from not finding something new to read at the bookstore, Tuesday was terrific. I cleared the to-do list, got a little exercise, and then had some extended time in the garden. The goal is to do the same today and then wait for tomorrow's rain to water the plants again. First, let's check out the headlines. The guys made coffee, so grab yourself a... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? It's still a little chilly here right now, but BDH and Little Buddha assured me that the cold won't last much longer. In fact, they said today's high temperature will be 80 degrees. That's more like it, May. Today's to-do list is pretty reasonable. I'd really love to find something new for our crew to read, so here's hoping the trip to check out the new releases at the bookstore pays off this afternoon. Let's see what's going on in the headlines. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. We hope you're enjoying the unofficial start of summer, even though it's currently only 44 degrees outside. Don't worry, BDH and Little Buddha say today's high temperature will touch 70 degrees this afternoon. That means today's to-do list consists of a bike ride and then some extended garden time. Sounds perfect to me. Let's take a peek at the headlines while the sun gets to work. The guys made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Monday Clutter. Donald Trump criticized Vladimir Putin for Russia's most recent attacks... Read more →

It's time to start the final stretch of the season. Now that we know Mrs. Flood's real identity, and she has bi-generated, the question is, what does the Rani want? It turns out that the answer would break reality. Warning: Mild spoilers ahead. The credits say "London, 2025," but the Doctor and Belinda find themselves in a world that looks more like the 1950's, at least when in it comes to traditional gender roles. They're a happily married couple with a child who clearly isn't theirs. Belinda is a housewife, while "John Smith" works at the Unified National Insurance Trust... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? BDH and Little Buddha just reconfirmed that today is supposed to be miserable on the weather front. The guys are expecting heavy rain and wind to start later this morning and continue into the evening. This is a double-whammy for our to-do list, because today's errands will probably have to be postponed, and we also now have to change our Memorial Day travel plans. That means we will likely not be in the office tomorrow so we can try to avoid the holiday traffic. Our crew will figure out the revised schedule later.... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? Our crew is plugging away at the moment. I'm a little disappointed I couldn't find BDH and Little Buddha something new to read yesterday. The guys were of course unfazed by this news. They say there's always next week, and we can watch more Red Sox games until then. (We're also about halfway through the old Daredevil series, so let us know if you have any suggestions about what we should watch next.) It sounds like today will once again feel more like early April than late May. Don't love that, but I... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? Man, did I have a case of the Mondays yesterday. I don't know if the weather or my back issue threw me off more, but I only got through the first 2-3 items on the to-do list. By the time we hit mid-afternoon, BDH and Little Buddha agreed we should throw in the towel and get ready for today. Oof. Fortunately, I feel better now, and the "real feel" high temperature is supposed to hit a balmy 57 degrees, so here's hoping things go smoother this time. Let's check out the headlines. The...
