Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? We're all doing fine, except I had some sleep issues last night. I had a few weird dreams, and then I woke up around 2:00 and didn't really fall fully back to sleep until around 3:00. Don't know what that was about, but fortunately today's to-do list isn't all that long. Also, I couldn't find anything new at the bookstore for BDH and Little Buddha to read, but we finished Season 4 of Lucifer, and that made the guys happy. Season 4 ends the way I thought Season 6 would, so now we're... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! Have to say, our day is off to a slightly challenging start. An alarm has been ringing in the neighborhood for at least 90 minutes this morning. I haven't been outside yet, so I'm not sure where it's coming from, but given how loud it is, I'm assuming it's a local business. If so, it doesn't feel like the most useful security system to let it ring for so long unchecked. It's also a little distracting, but BDH and Little Buddha will do everything they can to keep us...

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. How was the rest of your weekend? It was a little bit of a mixed bag here yesterday. I had a productive morning - banged out all of the items on the to-do list without a problem. However, a headache showed up to hang out for the afternoon. It wasn't debilitating, but it was distracting, and that was a bit of a drag. The forecast for rain translated into three minutes of sprinkles around 7:30 in the evening, so I need to water the garden tonight. This might be... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Having a good weekend so far? I had a great time at the Red Sox game on Friday night. The rain finally stopped, and it was actually bright and sunny by the first pitch. J.D. Martinez had himself a night with a home run and RBI ground-rule double. The home run was a bit to our left, and the double was just to our right. Maybe I'll end up with a baseball one of these days if J.D. can learn how to split the difference. Also, the garden is looking terrific, so we're a pretty... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? I got BDH and Little Buddha a new book yesterday, so that was good. They weren't really feeling the one they were reading, so they're going to put that one down and check this one out instead for a little while. Sometimes you just have to shake things up a bit, you know? My case of the Mondays turned into a case of the Tuesdays when a company blew me off on a service call yesterday afternoon. The person later tried to claim they called me in the morning to let me know... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? It looks like this should be a lovely day. BDH and Little Buddha have been listening to the birds as usual this morning. One bird keeps chirping the same tune over and over. The guys tell me what their friend is saying is, "We will have terrific weather today, and you should hang out with us in your garden this afternoon." Who am I to argue? It's time to start the next stage of clean-up before the compost arrives in two weeks. Of course, that also means it's time to start stretching for... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? The wind finally died down around here, thankfully. Yesterday was not fun. Well, all of the noise and rattling wasn't fun, but BDH and Little Buddha had a good time reading one of their books, so we'll call it a draw. Now it's just chilly here at the moment, but the guys say the highs are supposed to reach 40 this afternoon, so I'll take it. At least I don't have to worry about the car being blown off the road, or a tree coming down on it while I'm doing today's errands. Take the... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? BDH and Little Buddha told me that we have a few days before the next snow, and it doesn't seem like it should be too bad. I've got a few errands that need to be dealt with before the end of the week, so that's good to hear. Oh, I got BDH a birthday present yesterday - I renewed his subscription to Doctor Who Magazine. (Don't tell him - it's a surprise.) It's the best thing we get in the mail each month, and each issue is like a small book, so it usually takes... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? I had a number of bad dreams last night. Don't know if it was something I ate or what, but that wasn't fun. BDH and Little Buddha said I should let the images fade away and focus on today instead. Have I mentioned what a wise pair they are? It's a good thing they're in charge of everything around here. Struck out at the bookstore yesterday, but the book the guys are reading should at least last them to the end of the week, so they'll be fine. You know what we could... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? BDH and Little Buddha already pointed out that today is Tuesday, just in case there was any chance I forgot they need me to go to the bookstore. I haven't had much luck finding them anything recently, so fingers crossed that unlucky streak breaks later this morning. Today also means that November 3 is just two weeks away. We urge you to vote early or by mail if you can, or do it on the 3rd if you prefer, but just make sure you vote. It's time to throw the trash in the... Read more →
