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 →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? BDH and Little Buddha were just looking at the weather forecast for the rest of this week. Looks like we've got more precipitation coming, which could impact some of our plans. We'll have to keep an eye on that. Today's to-do list is long, but I'm still hoping to be able to make a quick trip to the local bookstore to check out the new releases for the guys. Something is coming for them in January, but it would be great to find them a book to read now, particularly if the weather... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! What's on tap for the weekend? There's no New England Patriots game. and no new Doctor Who episode, so we'll have to come up with a new plan. Well, we could do some more Christmas shopping. Of course, we'll also be celebrating the fact that the sunsets are now getting later. Of course, they'll only initially be about three seconds later than they were yesterday, but at least we're moving in the right direction. Alright, it looks like we've got that covered, so let's get to work. BDH and... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Our crew is doing fine at the moment. I finished driving before the snow came yesterday. Not only were the roads safe, there was considerably less traffic than usual. Don't know why that happened, but I'm not complaining at all. The big news is that tonight is the earliest sunset of the year! That's sort of a holiday around here, as we look forward to the pivot that starts tomorrow. It may still be dark at 4:00 on Friday afternoon, but it will start about one second later than today. Seconds eventually become minutes, and... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back! How are you? I've finally recovered from my booster shot. That was unpleasant, but it was worth a rough weekend in exchange for an extra layer of protection against the coronavirus. The problem now is that I'm wiped out after last night's New England Patriots game. Gotta say, nighttime football games are for the birds. Some of us need our beauty sleep! It's less of an issue when the Patriots win, but still, keep football where it belongs-in the afternoon. Now, it's Tuesday, so I'm off to the bookstore to check the new releases once we're...
