Rachel Dulitz surged into a 6-point lead in the Living Room Times Bowl Pick ’em Contest on Friday, improving her prediction record to 16-6 with a 3-1 day, and increasing her distance from the rest of the field. Her nearest competitors are just 12-10.
Okay, so the balloon drop was a little bit like John Kerry’s convention, as you’ll see. The fishing line somehow got stuck in the middle of the wrapping paper, so it took a couple of extra steps to get all the balloons down. But it was successful in the end, and the kids loved it. 🙂 Video, from three different… Read more »
It’s no #snowpocalypse, but 2011 will start in Denver with several inches of snow on the ground, and bitter cold in the air — 4 degrees now, below zero tonight.
Exactly one year, to the day, after I originally planned to finish my Brendan’s Defining Days of the Decade series, I’ve finally done it. (Well, except for the “honorable mentions”, which I’ll write up… er, probably sometime next year.) Yeah, it took way too long — we’re one-tenth of the way through a new decade already! — but we’ve finally… Read more »
Tomorrow night. Midnight Mountain Time. DU Bally Drop. Be there.
Tomorrow is Loyette’s third birthday, and we’re hosting a “Noon Year’s Eve”-themed birthday party for her.

So last night, after Becky blew up several… Read more »
A year later than originally planned, it’s time — long past time, really — to publish the final two items on my Brendan’s Defining Days of the Decade list. (Of the last decade, that is.

Rachel Dulitz maintained sole possession of the lead for the fourth straight day in the LRT Bowl Pick ’em Contest with a 3-0 record Wednesday, improving her impressive prediction streak to 7 out of the last 8 bowls — during a time period when the average contestant has only gotten between 3 and 4 of those 8 games right —… Read more »
We’re just about 10 percent done with the 2010s, but as you may have noticed, my “Defining Days of the (Last) Decade” blog series remains unfinished, stalled at #3. But not for long!! I’ve finished writing #2, and will soon be done with #1 as well. I’ll be publishing them exactly one year to the day after I originally planned… Read more »
Rachel Dulitz yesterday maintained the lead she’s held since Sunday in the 6th annual Living Room Times Bowl Pick ’em Contest, but her 4-bowl winning streak ended and her 2-point lead shrank when Iowa stunned Missouri. Now, several different scenarios — including my not-quite-3-year-old daughter, “Loyette,” taking a share of the lead — are possible today, with three bowl games… Read more »
