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 →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. BDH, Little Buddha, and I were just talking about the fact that it's Election Day. The guys want to know if they can vote today, but I had to remind them that we voted early this year, so they asked me to remind you to get out and express your views at your local polling place. They're so excited to watch the results come in tonight, I don't know how I'm going to keep them busy in the meantime. I think they still have at least one book to read.... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. We were just checking out the weather forecast. Looks like we've got a little heat wave coming for the next couple of days. Hmm, I better get my bike ride in earlier rather than later today. BDH and Little Buddha say they're happy to keep an eye on things here (and stay in front of the fans) while I'm gone. They also say that the coffee is ready. There's a fresh pot on the counter, so help yourself to a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some Tuesday Clutter.... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? Things are good on this end at the moment. It's a little chilly in here this morning, but that's not going to last long, according to the weather forecast. We're looking at highs of 85-95 for the next few days, so summer isn't over just yet. That works for us, maybe we'll get a few late-arriving guests in the garden. In the meantime, there are headlines to sort through and coffee to be enjoyed. The guys made a fresh pot, so help yourself to a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear... Read more →
