A day late, but hopefully not a dollar short, I’m finally ready to continue with my “Brendan’s Defining Days of the Decade” series. (Link goes to a page displaying all posts in descending order from #12 to, eventually, #1.) But first, let’s review where we’ve been: #12: May 15, 2003: Becky and I Graduate From College #11: November 7, 2000:… Read more »
Alas, dear readers, I’ve already fallen behind in writing my “Brendan’s Defining Days of the Decade” series. I know you’re shocked. 🙂 So, my write-up of entry #10 on the list will be delayed until (hopefully) sometime tomorrow. It’s possible that #9 and #8 will consequently be pushed back by a day as well. Luckily, I’ll have time to catch… Read more »

Such is the life of a parent of an almost-two-year-old. 🙂 As a result, I tend to get random… Read more »
Notwithstanding the scary events that transpired up in Oregon, I had a great Halloween. Loyette went trick-or-treating for the first time — she was a pirate — and seemed to enjoy herself a lot. (She also loved helping us give candy to the neighborhood kids.) Loyacita came along for the ride in the Baby Bjorn, dressed as a tiger. Both… Read more »
Well, not just me. 🙂 The Augustana Chamber Choir, directed by Dick Larson, along with the Augustana Chancel Choir and the Musica Sacra Chamber Orchestra, will perform the Mozart Requiem this Sunday, All Saints Day. I recently joined the choir (I sing tenor), largely for the opportunity to sing this very piece of music. If you’re in the area, please… Read more »
I don’t plan on doing a “liveblog” per se — but any tweets I might post about today’s college football action, or anything else for that matter, will appear in the Cover It Live window at below left. And if anybody happens to stop by and feels like chatting, you can do so here, or after the jump. (You may… Read more »
