Hi everyone, Welcome back. How's your weekend going so far? It was pretty busy on this end yesterday. I had a lot of running around to do, but I crossed off every item on the to-do list, so that was good. Today should be quieter. The big question is if I'll get to go for my first bike ride of the year after we're done here. It's pretty cloudy outside right now, but BDH and Little Buddha say it's not supposed to rain until late tonight. That would work. Let me get in a little exercise, and then let the... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Weekend going okay so far? BDH, Little Buddha, and I were just talking about how chilly it is this morning. It's 49 degrees at the moment, but the high is supposed to be 80 degrees this afternoon. That's one heck of a swing. What is this, mid-September or something? Besides that, things are fine. Hold on, the guys just said that it's supposed to rain tonight through Tuesday. Hmm, that might present a challenge or two. Well, I'll deal with that later. Let's check out today's headlines. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the... Read more →

Hi folks, Welcome back. How are you? Our crew is doing pretty well at the moment. Don't tell BDH and Little Buddha, but I found a list of books being released in the next month, and there are a couple that sound like good matches for the guys. Fingers crossed the local bookstore carries them, otherwise I may have to visit one of the big chain stores in the area. We wanted to watch multiple things at the same time last night, so we kept channel flipping and missed Chicago Med, stayed focused for Chicago Fire, and went to bed... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? We hope you're all enjoying the weekend. While it's disappointing that the New England Patriots aren't playing today, there are a number of things to take care of on the to-do list, so at least I don't have to rush to finish all of them before the game. BDH and Buddha say the coffee is ready, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Sunday Clutter. Donald Trump held an illegal campaign rally at the White House yesterday while he was still possibly contagious with the coronavirus.... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? How was your weekend? I had a nice time celebrating a socially distanced Father's Day with Dad Clutter yesterday. Besides that, I wasn't all that productive, but that's okay. We'll take care of business this week. It was steamy in the bedroom last night. Unfortunately, I mean that literally. There's no doubt that summer is here. BDH, Little Buddha, and I are going to revisit the idea of installing some A/C, because that was rough. Anyway, let's check out the headlines. The guys made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? We're all okay at the moment. Still annoyed by the unseasonably cool weather, but at least the sun is shining, and the birds seem to be having fun as they chirp up a storm. I woke up for a few minutes around 4:30 this morning, and they were already chatting away about something or other. BDH and Little Buddha think they were talking about whether or not there will be any baseball this year. They apparently don't sound optimistic. In any case, let's check out today's headlines. The guys made coffee, so grab... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? I know I said we might not be able to meet up this weekend, but BDH and Little Buddha didn't love that plan, so they made sure we could at least check in today, and then we'll probably see you next on Monday. We are not digging the snow that's falling right now, but at least most of it isn't sticking, and it might switch to rain by the time we're done here. With any luck, that will be it for the white stuff until the end of the year. The carpenter fixed... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What's the plan for this weekend? There's no football, and the weather looks like it could be a mixed bag, according to BDH and Little Buddha. Hmm, well, they would always be happy watching some more Chicago Fire reruns, and they've also gotten into The Good Place, so those are some options. We could also listen to the new Doctor Who audio adventure that just came in the mail as a prize for writing the "Letter of the Month" for a recent issue of Doctor Who Magazine. That would...

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. How are you? We went to bed well past our bedtimes here last night, thanks to the Patriots - Jets game, but it was worth it. It's easier to stay up that late when the Patriots win the game. Still adjusting to the fact that we're now getting up about an hour before sunrise these days, but BDH and Little Buddha have the perfect solution for that - coffee! (They also just told me that we're running low, so I guess I know where I'm heading after we're done here.)... Read more →

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 →
