Hi folks, Welcome back, and a happy, albeit ugly, Monday to you all! It looks like this week is going to get off to a messy start. We got a good amount of snow last night, and according to BDH and Little Buddha, it's supposed to change to a heavy wind/rain combination later this morning. The precipitation is expected to end by early afternoon, but the wind will remain. Since the high temperature is supposed to reach 40 degrees, maybe most of this will melt, and shoveling won't be so bad. Or maybe I'm kidding myself. Guess we'll see in... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? We hope you've been staying warm. Yesterday was brutal. Even just walking from the car to the supermarket ate a little bit of my soul. BDH and Little Buddha said the wind chill issue should end soon. A temperature of 20 degrees with a "real feel" of 20 degrees will feel tropical, compared to Saturday. That's great, but I took care of all of this weekend's outdoor errands yesterday, so today should be a quiet day at home for us. The guys can read while I water the plants, and then we can...

Hi everyone, Happy Friday to you all, friends! What's the plan for the weekend? The two biggest items on our to-do list are watching the Patriots game tomorrow night and trying to stay warm during another arctic blast. We've got a few smaller errands to take care of today, but let's check out the headlines first. BDH and Little Buddha just made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Clutter. The noted public health experts on the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the Biden administration's mandate requiring large businesses to implement coronavirus vaccination/testing... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Our crew is doing well at the moment. We slept in a little bit this morning, so we're all feeling refreshed. Today's big errand is a dentist appointment. Can't say I'm excited about it, but it's just for a regular cleaning, and my teeth aren't bothering me, so fingers crossed everything will be fine. We couldn't stay up for Chicago P.D. last night, so BDH and Little Buddha were wondering if you want to watch it with them later today? You can think about that while we go through the headlines. The guys made coffee,... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back! How are you? BDH and Little Buddha just told me it's 4 degrees outside, with a wind chill factor of -7. That's about twice as warm as it was at this point yesterday, so at least we're moving in the right direction. By the time I have to go outside, it's supposed to be 13 degrees, with a wind chill of 3. Heck, that's balmy! Didn't make it to the bookstore yesterday, but the guys are fine for reading materials for the time being. They just finished the first volume of their Lucifer anthology, and they... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back! How are you? We're all fine at the moment, largely because the heat is working. BDH and Little Buddha just told me the current wind chill factor is -15 degrees. Oof. I don't think I'm going to make it to the local bookstore this week. It would be hard to pick out a new release if I'm dealing with frostbite. The guys say that's fine. They still have a little bit left of the first Lucifer book, then they have two options after that, with a third one hopefully still coming in the mail soon. I... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back, and a happy (albeit freezing) Monday to you all! I misunderstood BDH and Little Buddha when they told me that today's high temperature would be 36 degrees. That didn't sound so bad. However, the guys meant that's what it would be at midnight last night. It looks like we'll be settling in with a high during the day of 22 degrees, with a wind chill factor of 11 degrees. I'm also being told that tomorrow will be worse. That's a shame. Well, all of today's errands have to happen today, but maybe we'll revise tomorrow's list.... Read more →

Hi folks, How are you? Did you make it through yesterday's snow in one piece? It didn't seem so bad here. I was expecting it to be heavy, but shoveling was relatively easy. We've got some running around to do tomorrow before the New England Patriots game, so BDH and Little Buddha wanted to make sure we had a chance to say hello today. The guys say the coffee is ready, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Saturday Clutter. The three men who were convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery were sentenced to... Read more →

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 folks, Welcome back! What's the latest? Wednesday was pretty quiet, but productive, around here. I didn't want to deal with driving on icy roads, so I stayed home and cleaned for a little bit, while BDH and Little Buddha read for most of the day. That felt good. The guys say the weather should be fine today, so it looks like I'll be running around before the snow arrives later tonight/tomorrow. Would you like me to pick up some snacks? Think about that while we sort through today's headlines. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so... Read more →
