Hi folks, Welcome back. How are you? I had a bit of an adventure yesterday - got stuck in Dad Clutter's snowy driveway, which took a while to resolve. I also damaged my car just a little in the process. Not fun. That means another trip to the mechanic first thing tomorrow morning, so we probably won't be able to hang out with you. Hopefully everything will be back on track by Friday. In the meantime, our crew will wait for this afternoon's storm to arrive, as soon as I take care of today's to-do list. The snow totals have...

Hi folks, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! What's our verdict on the first week of January? Part of me thinks it went by quickly, but at the same time, New Year's Eve feels like it was a month ago. This pandemic is messing with my sense of time. The snow is coming down this morning, and BDH and Little Buddha say it's not supposed to stop until mid-late afternoon today. I can already hear cars skidding outside. Hmm, looks like we're going to have another quiet day on our hands. Maybe we'll take a look and... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? I see we all survived the great Facebook outage yesterday. (More on that later.) Before I forget, something has come up, and I'm pretty sure we won't be here tomorrow, but we will be back on Thursday. Given that it's Tuesday, you know today's schedule includes a trip to the bookstore. There are two new releases I think BDH and Little Buddha would like, so now we just have to see if the store carries them. If yes, great. If not, the guys still have about 250 pages left to their current book,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and congratulations on making it to the end of yet another week. Well done! This year, man. I just found out yesterday that someone who had a huge impact on me years ago died this past summer. We don't need to get into the details, but I owe him a lot, and all I can do now is say thanks, Mike. You were one of the good guys. So, what's the plan for the weekend? We've got the usual yard work and New England Patriots game on the to-do list. Nothing too crazy, and that's fine... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? Yesterday was a bit of an odd day around here. It got off to a productive start, and everything was fine. Somewhere around the mid-afternoon a few things on my mind started building up, and I couldn't shake them. I got so distracted, I couldn't get it together for gardening, and you know that doesn't happen often. I could feel my mood deteriorating, and usually in that situation I just go to bed, sleep it off, and start over the next day. However, I had the chance... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? I finally got a good night's sleep again. I'm so happy about that, I'm doing my best to ignore the light layer of snow that's on the ground right now. The high temperatures are supposed to be in the 40's today, so it shouldn't be here that much longer anyway. BDH and Little Buddha asked if I still thought they should make some coffee, and then they laughed before I even had a chance to answer. There's a fresh pot on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, and let's clear... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? It's snowing a little bit at the moment, but I'm not sure if I'll have to shovel, since it's supposed to turn to rain this afternoon. BDH and Little Buddha need another new book to read. Any suggestions? Maybe we'll just stay inside and watch a movie today. In any case, there are plenty of headlines to sort through, and the guys just made coffee. Grab yourself a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some Sunday Clutter. Everyone is still talking about the news that New... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? It's a little messy outside at the moment. We had a moderate amount of snow overnight, and I think it turned into freezing rain at some point. Today's high is supposed to be almost 50 degrees, so this should all disappear pretty soon. For now, BDH and Little Buddha want to hang out with you and the Clutter Tree, see what's going on in the world, and enjoy some coffee. Sounds good to me. They just made said coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How's your week going? No complaints here, we've been fairly productive so far. Well, BDH and Little Buddha have been productive. I've mostly just kept them company while they do their work. They say the coffee is ready, so help yourself to a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Wednesday Clutter. Donald Trump gave a disjointed State of the Union address last night. The White House occupant threw out some empty words in support of national unity. He then quickly erased that message with calls for... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. BDH, Little Buddha, and I were all up at 4:45 this morning. Not sure what that was all about. Rainy days like this usually make us sleepy, so we'll try to be as productive as possible before getting ready for bed at 5:00 tonight. In any case, the guys made some coffee, so help yourself to a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some Tuesday Clutter. A Florida judge said there's no evidence of fraud in last week's election and he urged everyone to turn down the rhetoric casting... Read more →
