Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? The sun is shining, and the birds are chirping up a storm this morning. BDH and Little Buddha think they're making weekend plans. Works for me. The guys made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some Thursday Clutter. Donald Trump said yesterday his administration is "fighting all of the subpoenas" that Congress is issuing. Congress has every right to investigate the executive branch. It's a fundamental component of our government's system of checks and balances. Trump's blanket obstruction isn't rooted in a negotiating strategy or protecting some... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? Our crew is enjoying a nice lazy Saturday at the moment. We slept in for the first time in ages, which was a treat. It was probably made easier by the sound of the falling rain. BDH and Little Buddha have been engrossed in their new book all morning. However, they put it down and ran off to make the coffee as soon as I mentioned you were on your way. They say it's ready, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some Clutter. Donald Trump continues to blatantly... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? I was just telling BDH and Little Buddha I had some weird dreams again last night. Don't know what that was all about, but it would be nice if my subconscious could maybe ease up a bit and let me dream about playing with puppies or something like that for a while. Anyway, it's a little cold outside at the moment, but the high temperatures are supposed to be in the 40's today and 50's tomorrow, so that's terrific. What's also great is the fact that the guys just brought in the coffee.... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? BDH and Little Buddha were just reminding me to get the shovel out of the car before it snows later today/tonight. Sounds like I might want to also do some stretching beforehand. Well, I'll take care of that later. Otherwise, everything is going fine here at the moment. The guys say the coffee is ready, so help yourself to a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Tuesday Clutter. Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said yesterday that the Mueller investigation is "close to being... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. We were just looking at the weather forecast and trying to figure out if we will have to work around it again this week. Looks like things should generally be fine (if a bit chilly), but next week has snow/snow showers listed from Monday to the following Monday. I guess February is planning on keeping us on our toes. Oh well, we'll deal with that later. In the meantime, BDH and Little Buddha made some coffee, so help yourself to a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? Oh, before we get started, a quick programming note: We may be a little off-schedule for the next couple of days. Not sure about that yet, but if it happens, we'll be back on track as soon as possible. Now, we're trying to get a handle on today's weather, and whether it would be dangerous to drive in it, or just annoying. The last time we (accidentally) drove through a flash flood warning, there were several moments where it was a bad, bad call, and we vowed... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? Everyone here is fine at the moment. It's a good thing we were able to take care of the shoveling yesterday, because that was the heavy wet stuff that could have been a real problem if it froze, particularly the stretch where it came crashing off the roof. BDH and Little Buddha said I did a great job, and they were more than happy to cheer me on while they watched out the window. It doesn't appear that snow should be an issue again for a few days, although the forecast for the... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all! It looks like things will get off to a quiet start for our crew this week, because I appear to be losing my voice. Thankfully, BDH and Little Buddha have outstanding hearing, so we'll be able to get by with light whispering if needed. The guys did some research on the Internet, and they've instructed me to drink plenty of liquids, starting with today's coffee. They've got a fresh pot ready, so help yourself to a nice medium DD, and let's clear out some Clutter. Former FBI Director James... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? It's already pretty stuffy in here, but BDH and Little Buddha just turned on all of the fans, so it should be a little better soon. It was actually a bit easier to sleep last night than I was expecting. Probably because I had a fan about six inches from my head. The only problem was that I misread my clock this morning and started to get out of bed a half hour before my alarm. There's no need for that silliness. Just one more day of this heat and humidity before we... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! We hope you all had a great weekend. It's considerably warmer in here this morning than it has been for the last week. Looks like summer isn't over just yet. We're still hoping to have a few late arrivals to the garden, so maybe this weather will help. Gardening season got off to a late start this year because of the extended winter, so it's only fair we get a little extra time on the back end, right? Right. In any case, BDH and Little Buddha just said the coffee is ready, so help yourself to... Read more →
