Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? Things are okay here at the moment. Still stressed about some stuff, but I'm trying not to obsess over it. I've got a few minor aches and pains this morning, and I just realized it's probably from gardening on Monday. I have to remember to start stretching beforehand. Oh, BDH and Little Buddha are still looking for their next book, so any suggestions would be great. In the meantime, the guys made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some Wednesday Clutter.... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. Any big plans for the weekend? Of course, many of you are probably celebrating Passover or Easter. I'd like to get some garden time, but I think it's supposed to rain for most of the weekend, so that might not work. Maybe I'll get BDH and Little Buddha a new book and hang out with them while they read. We'll see. It's another windy day around here, which I don't love, and neither does the Clutter Tree. Speaking of the tree, if any of you could send a few... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? We've already had some excitement here today. Well, "excitement" might not be the right word. An alarm went off somewhere in the neighborhood at 2:30 this morning, and it didn't stop until at least 4:00, so that was fun. I couldn't tell where it was coming from, but I didn't see flames anywhere or hear sirens, so that's a good sign. Still, an alarm that can wail for 90 minutes straight doesn't seem like the most effective warning system. Anyway, that threw off my sleep a bit, but BDH and Little Buddha promised... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? Did anyone trick you yesterday? I fell for a Facebook post that said Sherlock would be back on January 1, 2020, but that was it. Of course, no one ever fools BDH and Little Buddha, they're too smart for that sort of stuff. It's a little chilly outside this morning. However, the guys say it's supposed to warm up in a bit, so this seems like a good day for doing some errands once we finish checking out today's headlines. There's a fresh pot of coffee on...

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? Everyone here is fine, except we've had enough of this wind. It's never a good feeling when the walls start shaking a bit. The window wraps we use during the winter were at maximum effort yesterday. Thankfully, they're still intact, so the plants are fine, and we didn't lose power, but...enough already. I guess things are supposed to quiet down later today. In the meantime, BDH and Little Buddha say the coffee is here, so help yourself to a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some Tuesday Clutter. Michael Cohen will testify... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! Any big plans for the weekend? I'm sure we'll extend BDH's birthday celebration for a few more days. He had a good day yesterday, and he wanted me to tell you how nice it was to hear from so many friends. That's really his most favorite part of his birthday, so thank you to everyone who made him smile even more than usual. Of course, we need to take a look at the headlines before we get back to the party. BDH and Little Buddha made some coffee (which... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? It didn't start snowing until it was almost dark yesterday, and it was something like 20 degrees outside at that point, so my desire to shovel was not high/nowhere to be found. It looks like it's going to take a little while to clear everything today. I'm guessing it's pretty heavy at this point, thanks to last night's freezing rain. The biggest challenge will be clearing out the end of the driveway where the snowplows packed it all in overnight. Good times. BDH and Little Buddha remind... Read more →

Our friend Brian recently introduced us to the YouTube series, Hot Ones. The show is hosted by Sean Evans who interviews his guest while the two of them eat increasingly hot chicken wings. After only a handful of episodes, we're hooked. The segments are roughly 25-30 minutes long, and they're a combination of celebrity interview and endurance test which ends up becoming a sort of performance art. Evans has a relaxed presence about him. He asks his guests interesting questions about their personal lives, careers, and Instagram posts, and the celebrities seem eager to engage, while nervously making jokes about... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all! BDH and Little Buddha were just looking at the weather forecast again. They're telling me I might need to stretch a bit before tomorrow's snow arrives, but then it's going to be warmer after that, and the rain might wash it all away. Hmm. Well, some stretching would do me good anyway, so it looks like that's on the schedule for later. In the meantime, let's see what's going on in the world. The guys made a fresh pot of coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How's your weekend going? BDH and Little Buddha have been focusing on their book while I take care of some errands. In hindsight, I'm not sure what they're reading is age-appropriate, but I guess that ship has sailed. (You can read their review in a few weeks.) The guys decided to take a break, so they asked if we could all hang out for a bit. What am I going to do, say no? I don't think so. They just made some coffee, so help yourself to a nice medium...
