An Irish-American woman living in South Boston in 1974 faces a nightmare when her teenage daughter goes missing. Meanwhile, a young black man dies when he is struck by one of the city's subway trains. Are the two events connected? The only thing the reader knows for sure right from the start is that Mary Pat Fennessy is going to make some powerful people angry when she starts asking questions. That's the gist of Dennis Lehane's new book, Small Mercies, which is out on April 25. The Dorchester, Massachusetts, native is a master at creating gripping mysteries set in Boston....

It would be hard to find someone in the United States who has never heard of Vince McMahon. Whether you're a professional wrestling fan or not, the odds are you know him as the owner of the WWE, a man who has been synonymous with the wrestling industry for decades. However, how many people know anything about his background, and how he reached the heights that he has since taking over the family business in the early 1980's? McMahon is a master of storytelling, and he's apt to tell any version of a tale that best suits his purposes at... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? Is your week going okay so far? I'm sorry we've been out of the office so much lately. The good news is, we should be back on our regular schedule for the foreseeable future. I had a great time with Dad Clutter and his cat over the past two weeks, but they went home yesterday, so we expect it to be business as usual around here for a while. There are no new "One Chicago" shows tonight. However, Dad Clutter turned us onto the FBI shows on CBS while he was here, and... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? BDH wants to thank you all for a lovely birthday yesterday. He had a great time running around with Little Buddha and hearing from a lot of his friends throughout the day. There may also have been a few cookies. Actually, we ended up with a lot of cookies, but they will have to be eaten over a long period of time so he doesn't get a stomach ache. The party continues, because I'm pretty sure there are finally new "One Chicago" episodes to watch tonight. Are you ready to check out the headlines? Let's... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Our crew is doing well. BDH and Little Buddha started reading Prince Harry's new memoir last night. It looks like this will hold their attention for a while, so that's good. I just realized that BDH's birthday is a little over a month away, so I need to start thinking about a present for him. Any suggestions? In any case, the guys just told me that today's rain is now supposed to start earlier than previously expected. It could make things icy, which would change today's schedule a bit. Well, worse comes to worst, we'll... Read more →

Hi friends, As 2022 comes to a close, it's time for our crew to once again take stock of another busy year at Clutter Headquarters. We once again had visitors from every single country on the planet, an achievement which will never cease to both amaze and humble us. In fact, we try not to think about that too much, because BDH and Little Buddha could get shy really quickly if they let that sink in for more than a minute. Thank you all so much for once again giving us some of your time each day as we discuss,... Read more →

Friday Clutter: Elon Musk and Twitter, Lindsey Graham, Jim Cramer, Mental Health, Tom Brady, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Rihanna, and more

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What's on tap for the weekend? Nothing too crazy on this end. I have to buy our Halloween candy, but that will have to wait until later on Saturday at least, so we don't end up eating it all ahead of time. (Of course, we'll make sure there's some left over for BDH and Little Buddha at the end.) Speaking of eating sugar, I've got a dentist appointment later today, but fortunately it's just a routine cleaning. Now, let's check out the headlines. The guys made coffee, so grab...

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How has your weekend been so far? Things are going well on this end - we had a surprise second birthday party for Dad Clutter yesterday which he never saw coming. Last week was dinner with friends, but yesterday was relatives, and it was so much fun to see the look on his face when he walked into the room. A good time was had by all, and it showed once again how many people think he's a rock star. (Spoiler: They're all correct.) It was late by the time I finally got to bed last... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. This week sure flew by quickly. Dad Clutter had a nice birthday yesterday. He got a number of presents and cards, and then we had a group dinner with some of his friends. However, as much as he enjoyed it, his cat Miguel may have had a better time playing with all of the wrapping paper. Now, what's on tap for the weekend? We're still working out our schedule (apart from the Patriots playing the Cleveland Browns), but it's possible we'll be back here tomorrow instead of Sunday, so... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Is your week going okay so far? Sorry we couldn't hang out yesterday - I had to help Dad Clutter with some errands. I made it to the bookstore near the end of the day, but no luck with the new releases. BDH and Little Buddha say that's fine. They're about halfway through the last book I bought them, so that should last a while longer. Today's big task involves a trip to the mechanic. Pretty sure I know what this visit is going to cost, so fingers crossed it's not more than that. On... Read more →
