Hi everyone, Congratulations on making it to another Friday! What's on tap for the weekend? I'm not sure what our plan is at the moment. We've got some errands to take care of, but tomorrow's weather sounds like a mess, so some of the to-do list might get bumped to Sunday. In the meantime, let's catch up on the headlines. BDH and Little Buddha made a fresh pot of coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Clutter. (Our new hat is on sale now!) The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services... Read more →

(Programming note: We will be out of the office tomorrow, but we'll be back on Friday.) Hi folks, Welcome back! How are you? We're all doing fine at the moment after a better night's sleep. Yesterday was rough from start to finish. In hindsight, I probably should have tried to take a nap at some point. No luck at the bookstore, which was disappointing, but BDH and Little Buddha are confident we'll find something new for them to read soon. Right now, they're focused on the chirping birds outside our window. There's a touch of snow in this afternoon's forecast,... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back! How are you? We have to ask you to bear with us a little bit today. I was only asleep for a little while last night before the howling wind woke me up and made sure I'd stay awake for a good while. The pouring rain didn't help either, but at least we didn't lose power. As a result, things are moving slowly around there this morning. BDH and Little Buddha say the wind, which has slowed down a touch, is supposed to last until 5:00 tonight. That's a drag. Of course, it won't stop me... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? We were just taking a peek out the window. BDH and Little Buddha read something yesterday about a chance of some snow coming overnight, but it doesn't look like we got anything. That's fine with us. We've got a full schedule today which includes getting started on some spring cleaning, and then running an errand. Of course, the first item on the list is to check out today's headlines with all of you. The guys made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Wednesday Clutter. The January... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Week going okay so far? I struck out at the bookstore yesterday. BDH and Little Buddha said not to worry about it. They'll take their time with the two books they have, and those should last them for a little while. I also had a bit of an adventure when I got stuck on Dad Clutter's driveway, which is both hilly and currently a sheet of ice. It was starting to look like I might be staying at his house until April. However, the fourth time was the charm, so it's particularly nice to be... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! We hope you enjoyed the rest of your weekend. The big day has finally arrived at HQ - it's BDH's birthday! He turns 11 years old today, which is mind-blowing. I thought we might sleep in a little bit this morning, after staying up late for the Super Bowl. However, BDH had other ideas. He woke up early and has been running around yelling, "It's my birthday - yay!" while Little Buddha keeps up with him to make sure he stays in one piece. There will probably be a mid-morning nap, but other than that, we'll... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? BDH and Little Buddha were just trying to help me work through today's weather forecast. We've currently got some light freezing rain, with a little bit of snow to follow until about 11:00. That sounds like a mess. However, it's supposed to warm up a bit, so maybe I'll make some progress with the shoveling. Hmm, I also need to get to the bookstore to check out the new releases, because the guys just finished what they were reading. Hope I don't slide the whole way there. I'm also being told that the 10-day forecast... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back! How are you? I struck out at the bookstore yesterday, but BDH and Little Buddha said not to worry about it. They still have about 100 pages left in their current book, so that should last them another day or two. I also didn't sleep particularly well last night. It took much longer than usual to fall asleep, and then I just kept waking up between 1-4 this morning. Not sure what that was about. I didn't feel overly stressed or anything. Anyway, the guys pointed out that today's to-do list isn't all that long, so... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back, and a happy 2022 to you all! How is the new year treating you so far? It's been fine on this end. BDH, Little Buddha, and I had fun watching the Twilight Zone and Three Stooges marathons on the 31st. We fell asleep around 10:00, which was pretty much expected. There was more Twilight Zone and a new Doctor Who episode on the 1st, and then the New England Patriots game yesterday. So far, so good, and now that you're here, things are getting even better. The guys tell me that today's high temperature will be... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back! How are you? I'm still grumbling a little about yesterday. The bookstore didn't have any new releases that would be a good match for BDH and Little Buddha, but that's fine. The Lucifer collections will last them a little while, and then we have some other options when those are finished. However, I am still irritated at the CVS employee who was so rude to Dad Clutter after he misread a sign. It was an honest mistake, and there was no excuse for her nastiness. Hoping to connect with someone above her to discuss it further... Read more →
