Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? No luck at the bookstore yesterday, but the rest of the to-do list went well, so I'll take it. BDH and Little Buddha said there are only a few errands to take care of today, and then we'll wait to see if this expected snow actually arrives. The current forecast calls for 2-7 inches. I think it's supposed to be the light stuff, but then there's also talk of rain tomorrow, so things could get messy. We'll just have to stay on top of the shoveling. For now, let's take a peek at...

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. How was your weekend? Ours was fine. BDH and Little Buddha just said they're going to ease me into the new week with a moderate to-do list. I've got no problem with that, unless it means they're expecting the rest of them to jam-packed or something. Hmm... Anyway, let's get started. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Clutter. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-Oklahoma) said the House Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz should... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How was your long weekend? It was generally okay on this end. The Patriots game was a nice surprise, and it looks like our crack IT staff (i.e. BDH and Little Buddha) figured out how to fix a lingering technical issue, so that was good. (Those two will really do whatever it takes to keep things moving smoothly around here.) The only downside was that I slept poorly last night, but hey, you can't win them all. The guys just looked at the weather forecast, and apparently we're looking at a wind chill factor of 36... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? Like many others, we're still processing this week's election results. I went for a bike ride yesterday. It can't be a good sign that it was so warm in November, but it was helpful to get a little exercise and enjoy the fresh air. BDH and Little Buddha decided to limit today's to-do list to a handful of items today, and then we might watch a movie tonight. Works for me. Are you ready to check out the headlines? Let's do it. The guys made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? Our crew didn't sleep all that well last night. Not sure if it was connected to some lingering disruption over changing the clocks, or still eating too much leftover Halloween candy (which is thankfully almost gone.) However, we may need to take a nap before tonight's election results start being announced. BDH and Little Buddha say there are a number of items on the to-do list, although a couple of them might have to be postponed if it actually rains. We could use the water, so if that means bumping these errands to... Read more →

Hi everyone, Happy Friday and November 1 to you. What's the plan for this weekend? There are two major items on our to-do list: 1) I have to remember to turn our clocks back on Sunday. Not looking forward to that. Yes, the extra hour of sleep is nice, but now we start talking about 4:30 p.m. sunsets. Bleah. 2) Much to our great disappointment, we didn't have any trick-or-treaters last night, so now I also need to make sure BDH and Little Buddha don't eat all of the leftover candy this weekend. It doesn't take much to get them... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? I made progress catching up on this week's errands yesterday, but there's still some backlog to deal with today. No luck at the bookstore, but BDH and Little Buddha have already moved on to what might arrive next week. They're two little optimism machines, although I think they might also be a bit distracted by the Halloween candy bags I just bought. We try to keep it under control, but our crew has a sweet tooth. Hopefully enough kids will stop by tomorrow to make sure we don't have a lot of sweets left over... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Week going okay so far? I had to help Dad Clutter yesterday, so today is all about catching up on the to-do list. BDH and Little Buddha told me not to worry about it. The guys think there's plenty of time to take care of everything, and I can always move the weekly trip to the bookstore to tomorrow if necessary. I tell you, nothing fazes these guys. They're always able to go with the flow. I want to be more like them. Let's get to work and check out the headlines. There's a fresh... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? I'm feeling better, now that I got a little more sleep last night. BDH and Little Buddha were just going over today's to-do list. There aren't that many items, but it will likely take all day to complete them. Someone was kind enough to send the guys an early copy of Alex Van Halen's new memoir (you can find our review here), so I also need to go to the bookstore to check out the new releases. Thankfully, it sounds like the weather will be lovely again. Are you ready to get started? Let's do... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? I'm doing a little better, now that I just double-checked today's to-do list with BDH and Little Buddha. I knew there was a dentist appointment on there, but I had the wrong time in my head. Thankfully, the guys pointed out that I was off by a few hours. There's a reason why these two are in charge around here. Now that I know I don't have to rush out the door, let's check out some headlines. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD,... Read more →
