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 →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! Where did this week go? We're already halfway through October? How did that happen? What's on tap for the weekend? We're hoping to do some yard work and watch the New England Patriots game. Oh, and tomorrow is a big day. BDH and Little Buddha have spent the past few weeks working on GOTV letters to voters in Georgia and Florida, and we're mailing them on Saturday. We just have to put the stamps on all of the envelopes first. (The guys say today's forecast calls for heavy rain,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? This has become a crummy week, thanks to yesterday's news about the death of Eddie Van Halen. As I wrote yesterday, that one hits hard. As always, BDH and Little Buddha are trying to help me keep things in perspective by reminding me to be thankful for the 35+ years of enjoying his music. It's just such a loss. I also struck out with finding the guys a new book to read yesterday, so that was disappointing. Throw in another night of not enough sleep, and yeah, it's a bit of a mess... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? Moving a little slowly here, as expected, because of last night's New England Patriots - Kansas City Chiefs game, but at least it ended an hour earlier than usual. Today is Tuesday, and that means it's bookstore day! Fingers crossed I can find something in the new releases section for BDH and Little Buddha to enjoy. Given the state of the world, it's good for them to have a distraction every now and again. However, the first thing we need to do is check out today's headlines. The guys say the coffee is...

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? I'm in a little bit of denial about how cold it is in here right now. BDH and Little Buddha say today's high temperature is supposed to be in the mid-70's, so I can still wear shorts, but it might be time to start thinking about wearing sweatpants to bed. That seems like a good way to start the transition to the fall wardrobe. I struck out at the bookstore yesterday, but the guys just discovered A Bit of Fry and Laurie on Amazon Prime Video, so I'll probably let them watch that... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? We're doing fine at the moment. The bad news is that I struck out at the bookstore yesterday. There just wasn't anything that seemed like a good fit for BDH and Little Buddha. However, the good news is that I went to the local library after that and checked out six Black Panther graphic novels that were written by Ta-Nehisi Coates. The guys are loving them so far. They'll probably finish all of them before next Tuesday, but at least they have something to read for the rest of this week. Let's check... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Folks, we should warn you now that we were up way past our bedtimes watching the Massachusetts primary results last night. I asked BDH and Little Buddha if we could sleep in a little bit, but they refused to be late to hang out with you today. Plus, we have a Comcast service call scheduled for this morning to try to figure out why our Internet problems are back. I told them that made sense, but we would definitely need some extra coffee, a problem they were more than happy to solve. There's a fresh pot... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy September 1 to you all. (A quick reminder to our Massachusetts friends - don't forget to vote in today's primary!) It's a treat to sleep in much more reasonable temperatures, but it will take some time to once again adjust to the later sunrises and earlier sunsets. BDH and Little Buddha say they have the solution for that, which is that I should go to the bookstore today to see if there are any new releases they might like to read. I see their logic - if they're happy, everything else is manageable,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? Unfortunately, I struck out at the bookstore yesterday. There just wasn't anything that seemed like a good fit for BDH and Little Buddha, so I'm going to comb through our shelves and see if I can find anything they might like. The good news is that the free local weekly comes out later this morning, and that means the guys will have a new rock and roll crossword puzzle to focus on for a few hours today. It also sounds like the weather should be a little more tolerable, which is nice, especially... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! This week went by disturbingly quickly. Any big plans for the weekend? I think we're done with the rain for a couple of days. BDH and Little Buddha just finished reading their latest book, so I need to find another activity for them. Oh, the Red Sox are playing tonight. The guys love baseball, so that will be fun. In any case, these two are so happy you're here, they just made you a fresh pot of coffee. Grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear... Read more →
