Hi everyone, Welcome back! What's new? This week got off to a solid start with a productive Monday. I took care of every mandatory task on the to-do list and then managed to work in what was probably my last outdoor bike ride of the year, so that made me happy. The rain took a little longer than expected (again) to arrive, but the garden eventually got a good soaking, so things are good. There's a whole new set of errands to deal with today, but they can wait a little bit longer. First, let's see what's going on in... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? Any big plans for the weekend? I don't think we've got anything too crazy happening here. I just need to make some time to cut back the garden some more, and BDH and Little Buddha will probably supervise that. I feel like I'm missing something, though. Oh well, that can wait until later. The guys just said the coffee is ready, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some Friday Clutter. (As always, if you'd like to support our coffee budget, please consider using the Clutter Amazon page for... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. Before we go any further, I should warn you that I'm working on four hours of sleep, so this could get ugly quickly. Last night's Red Sox game didn't have the result I was looking for (more on that later), and it may have been the longest uninterrupted game I've ever seen in person (5 hours 54 minutes...yikes.) I got out of there a little bit after 1:00 this morning. I did leave Fenway Park at 2:45 a.m. once, but that game involved an extended rain delay. The night wasn't... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? Everything is going smoothly on this end. We got some garden time before the rain showed up for a couple of hours yesterday, and then we were back at it once the sun came out again. BDH and Little Buddha did a great job on this week's rock & roll crossword puzzle. They're just stuck on one section, and the funny part is, that section has been trouble for the last few weeks. We'll see what happens next week. It was fun to see there are still... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? BDH and Little Buddha were just looking at the weather forecast. It calls for rain this afternoon, so I'm trying to figure out today's schedule. I could take care of a couple of errands and get in a nice walk this morning. Hmm, we'll see. In any case, we're glad you're here. The guys just put the coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Wednesday Clutter. (As always, if you'd like to support our coffee budget, please consider using the Clutter Amazon... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How was your weekend? We had a great couple of days. The Boston Comic Con was so much fun on Saturday (we'll discuss that more in a later post), and then I caught up with some friends on Sunday, and that's always nice. BDH and Little Buddha were just checking out the weather forecast, and it sounds like this is going to be a hot week, including a heat advisory for today. We will plan accordingly and encourage you to do the same. The guys also just made a fresh... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? I built my entire schedule around there being thunderstorms yesterday, so of course it didn't rain for more than 30 seconds. It seems like that's happened more often than usual this year. Oh well, it's a good thing I watered the garden on Monday just to be safe. BDH and Little Buddha say today's forecast seems calmer, so hopefully we'll find something new to read outside for a while tonight. Oh, the new free weekly paper comes out today, so we can do the rock and roll... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? BDH and Little Buddha were just telling me the weather forecast for today. Looks like we've got thunderstorms on the schedule for the afternoon. I watered the garden yesterday, but some more rain couldn't hurt. Guess I'll try to run a couple of errands this morning before it gets nasty out there. First things first, though. Let's check out today's headlines. 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. (As always, if you'd like to support our... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How's your weekend going so far? We enjoyed celebrating this site's 10th anniversary yesterday. Thank you to everyone who sent us congratulations. It's still a little mind-blowing that we completed our first decade. However, BDH and Little Buddha think that since they joined the story 8 1/2 years ago, we need to have another party in 18 months. Sounds good to me. They also want you all to know that the coffee is ready. Grab yourself a nice medium DD, and let's kick off decade #2 of clearing out some... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? Everyone on our end is fine at the moment, except that we can't understand how it's already both Thursday and August 1. Time is speeding up, and we don't care for it. January never goes by this quickly. Well, there's no point in grumbling about it, so let's check out today's headlines instead. BDH and Little Buddha just made a fresh pot of coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Clutter.
