Hi everyone, Welcome back. Congratulations on making it to the end of January. How are you? I'm a little thrown at the moment - woke up this morning to a text message that a friend passed away recently. It hasn't really sunk in yet, but we'll put that to the side for the moment. BDH and Little Buddha say today's to-do list is a bit long, so there probably won't be time to check out the new releases at the bookstore. Maybe I'll be able to sneak it in tomorrow. Anyway, let's get to work. The guys made coffee, so... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? We're all fine, although I'm still recovering from yesterday's shoveling. The forecast originally called for 5-7 inches of snow, and then I heard an upper limit of 10 inches. We ended up getting over 14.5 inches of the heavy stuff, so that was a workout. I put in about three hours yesterday before finally throwing in the towel. However, the snow was still coming down, so I have to do one more round after we're done here. Hold on, BDH and Little Buddha are telling me another 5-8 inches are coming tomorrow afternoon.... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Are you enjoying your weekend so far? Yesterday was productive on this end. However, I didn't sleep that well last night, so today might be a little slower. BDH and Little Buddha say that's fine, because there isn't much on today's to-do list besides laundry and watching some playoff football. The guys think there's plenty of time to sneak in a nap somewhere if needed. Plus, today's wind chill factor is in the lower 20's, so who really wants to go outside anyway? Those two always have the right outlook on life. They also make... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? BDH and Little Buddha just handed me today's to-do list. It's a little longer than I was expecting. I'm not sure we're going to make it to the bookstore today, but the guys think there's enough time for everything. They're usually right about these things, so we'll see. They also just said we're looking at a wind chill factor of about 20 degrees this morning. That doesn't sound like fun. Other than that, things are fine here. Are you ready to check out the headlines? There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? BDH and Little Buddha were just giving me today's weather forecast. It's only about 24 degrees right now, but at least the wind has died down, so that's an improvement. Sounds like the high will be about 40 degrees. That's okay for the end of November. I think I'll still probably check out this week's new releases at the bookstore, even though the guys have only just started their latest book. Couldn't hurt to see the options, and who knows, maybe I'll find some Christmas presents. Big news: We now have a Patreon page! Please... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Our week got off to quite the start yesterday. Everything was fine right after we left you folks, but it all took a sharp turn when I discovered that our water heater died. The basement was a bit of a mess, but thankfully I learned about the problem relatively quickly, so the damage is minimal. The plumber is coming with the replacement heater this morning, which means BDH and Little Buddha had to re-organize today's to-do list. Not sure if we'll still make it to the bookstore to check out the new releases, but here's... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Our crew is mourning the end of that little warm streak we just had. BDH and Little Buddha say today's high temperature will be about 49 degrees, which is a 20+ degree drop from yesterday. It is November after all, but still...Guess it's time to break out the flannel shirts. We hope you're all ready to get out and vote today, if you haven't already. There's too much on the line to stay home. Just remember, friends don't let friends vote for Republicans for any office. I voted by mail a couple of weeks ago,... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Did you remember to set your clocks back and check your smoke detectors? BDH and Little Buddha changed our bedroom clock last night, so it looked like we went to bed even earlier than usual, but then we woke up at the "usual" time this morning. That helps us minimize the disruption. Those guys are so smart. Of course, we're now looking at a 4:30 sunset this afternoon, which is not exciting, but we'll deal with that later. In the meantime, the guys say the highs are still supposed to be in the 70's today,... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Our crew really enjoyed Halloween yesterday. BDH and Little Buddha loved giving out candy to the little ones for the first time in a few years. We ended up with some pieces left over at the end, so it was a win-win for everyone. We're just taking a look around, and it seems like our web host company is almost back at full strength. Our banner is missing, but hopefully that will return soon. (Wait, it's back!) Please drop us a line at info@clearingouttheclutter.com if you notice anything else that needs fixing. I'll be off...

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How has your weekend been so far? Things are going well on this end - we had a surprise second birthday party for Dad Clutter yesterday which he never saw coming. Last week was dinner with friends, but yesterday was relatives, and it was so much fun to see the look on his face when he walked into the room. A good time was had by all, and it showed once again how many people think he's a rock star. (Spoiler: They're all correct.) It was late by the time I finally got to bed last... Read more →
