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 →

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? 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...

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. Today is May 19, and BDH and Little Buddha just told me the current "real feel" is 43 degrees. Say what now? Last night's howling wind is apparently expected to last all day, and then we have showers coming this afternoon. That's not a fun weather report, guys. I'm also dealing with a bit of a back issue at the moment, so we'll have to revisit the to-do list after we finish here. Speaking of which, let's get to work. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What's the plan for this weekend? Our crew has been running around all week, so I'm pretty sure we're going to take it easy. I wish I had something new for BDH and Little Buddha to read, but they told me not to worry about it. They're happy to watch the Red Sox and Doctor Who, and relax for a while. Works for me. Let's take a gander at today's headlines. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? I think I've mostly recovered from dealing with this week's compost delivery. Now I'm just sore from overdoing it in the garden in general. However, that tends to be my usual state of being from now through late September. BDH and Little Buddha are still trying to understand today's weather forecast. They think we're getting some rain later this morning, but they're not sure if that will be it for the entire day. I guess we'll have to play it by ear and adjust the to-do list as needed. Let's check out the... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? It's been a crazy few days on this end, but it's so good to be back with all of you again. We had a celebration of Dad Clutter's life this past Sunday. It was a lovely event that gave his family and friends the chance to share some terrific memories. A variety of emotions were involved, but I think we did right by him, which is all I wanted. Monday saw the arrival of our annual compost delivery for the garden. It usually comes in the afternoon, but the nursery folks were here... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How's your week going? We're plugging away on this end. BDH and Little Buddha just gave me my marching orders for today. The to-do list isn't too crazy, and the guys said we'll have more nice weather before things cool off tomorrow, so this should be fun. Programming note: Due to a combination of events over the next few days, we will be out of the office from Friday until probably Wednesday (apart from this weekend's Doctor Who review.) We'll post any changes on our Facebook page, but try not to get into too much trouble... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? BDH and Little Buddha just told me the weather forecast now calls for a chance of heavy rainfall at some point today, but it doesn't specify when. Can't say I love that. Hopefully it just won't be while I'm driving, because that's never a fun situation. Are you ready to get started? Let's do this. The guys made a fresh pot of coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Tuesday Clutter. Donald Trump is scheduled to meet new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the... Read more →
