Just over a month ago now, DU Bally and I set out on an Excellent Adventure, an odyssey of open-road travel and (barely) above-the-Red Line basketball that took us to two separate Mountain West games, involving two Top Ten teams, in two different states, in the space of less than 3 1/2 hours. It was the most awesome hoops-related thing… Read more »
Randy Styles, who became a father Saturday morning, earned a perhaps slightly less momentous (heh) but still notable achievement Sunday night, as he won his second consecutive Living Room Times contest — following up his win in the LRT Bowl Pick ’em Contest with a victory in the LRT Oscar Pool. Better watch out for Randy in the upcoming NCAA… Read more »
Starting tonight at 6:00 PM Mountain Time (or a little thereafter, depending on kids’ bedtimes and such), I’ll be live-blogging the Academy Awards — and live-updating the results of my 7th annual Oscar Pool. Click here for the liveblog! Or, follow along below… but really, you want to click the link for the separate liveblog page, because that’s where the… Read more »

Specifically, on July 8 — the very same date that Loyacita was due back in 2009 (though she was born five days late). We don’t… Read more »
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 is Loyette’s third birthday, and we’re hosting a “Noon Year’s Eve”-themed birthday party for her. Becky (who is awesome) is doing the vast bulk of the planning, preparation and house-cleaning (did I mention Becky is awesome?), but she tasked me with devising a way to have a “balloon drop” at noon. 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. Y’know, the one that ended on December 31, 2009. And no, I don’t believe the decade “technically” ends tomorrow. That logic might fly for centuries… Read more »
