Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! Any big plans for the weekend? I'm sure we'll extend BDH's birthday celebration for a few more days. He had a good day yesterday, and he wanted me to tell you how nice it was to hear from so many friends. That's really his most favorite part of his birthday, so thank you to everyone who made him smile even more than usual. Of course, we need to take a look at the headlines before we get back to the party. BDH and Little Buddha made some coffee (which... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? It's a very special day at Clutter Headquarters. That's right, it's BDH's birthday! Our little blue friend joined our crew eight years ago today, and we can't imagine what it would be like around here without him. He brings a joy to the day for all of his friends, especially Little Buddha. As I've mentioned before, Buddha's been with me for a little over 26 years now, but his smile got even wider when he and BDH became best buddies. I expect we'll do a lot of celebrating, but we still need to... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? It didn't start snowing until it was almost dark yesterday, and it was something like 20 degrees outside at that point, so my desire to shovel was not high/nowhere to be found. It looks like it's going to take a little while to clear everything today. I'm guessing it's pretty heavy at this point, thanks to last night's freezing rain. The biggest challenge will be clearing out the end of the driveway where the snowplows packed it all in overnight. Good times. BDH and Little Buddha remind... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? BDH and Little Buddha just said that the likely start of today's snow has been pushed back a few hours, so we might need to re-adjust today's schedule accordingly. That's fine, I've got a few errands to run, and it would be nice to not have to deal with all of that. How is it already February 12th? I know February's missing a few days at the end, but it still seems to go by particularly quickly. It's probably because of the excitement about BDH's birthday on the 14th. There's still time to...

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all! BDH and Little Buddha were just looking at the weather forecast again. They're telling me I might need to stretch a bit before tomorrow's snow arrives, but then it's going to be warmer after that, and the rain might wash it all away. Hmm. Well, some stretching would do me good anyway, so it looks like that's on the schedule for later. In the meantime, let's see what's going on in the world. The guys made a fresh pot of coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How's your weekend going? BDH and Little Buddha have been focusing on their book while I take care of some errands. In hindsight, I'm not sure what they're reading is age-appropriate, but I guess that ship has sailed. (You can read their review in a few weeks.) The guys decided to take a break, so they asked if we could all hang out for a bit. What am I going to do, say no? I don't think so. They just made some coffee, so help yourself to a nice medium...

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! Any big plans? We're always a little confused about what to do during the handful of weekends each year when there's no football or baseball to watch. Well, I'm confused. BDH and Little Buddha just got a new book this week, so maybe I'll hang out with them while they read. In the meantime, they just made some coffee, so help yourself to a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some Clutter. The Supreme Court temporarily blocked a Louisiana anti-abortion law by a 5-4 vote. As we suspected... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? Hey, I need your help with something before BDH and Little Buddha come into the room. BDH's birthday is a week from today. Yes, he's a Valentine's Day dog! Perfect, right? Any ideas about what I can get him for a present? Email your suggestions to bitsofclutter@gmail.com. Oh, here they come...We hope you're all having a good week, and if it will help, the guys brought in some fresh coffee. Grab yourself a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some Thursday Clutter. The House Intelligence Committee is launching an extensive investigation of... 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! How are you? We're back to full speed here after a good night's sleep last night. Good luck to everyone trying to commute to work in Boston today before the Patriots championship parade begins. I think we've done one Patriots parade and one Red Sox parade in person...maybe two Patriots parades. Glad to be able to say we've seen them live, but they're not really our cup of tea. We get a little claustrophobic just thinking about it. However, BDH and Little Buddha hope everyone has a great time. The guys also say that the coffee... Read more →
