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 »
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!!

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 »
Okay, I’ll be quick here. I have no interest in engaging anyone about the science of global warming, if it is a danger, and/or if we caused it. I have my ideas on this and I am sure you have yours. And for this moment, that’s all well and good. Right now, all I want is a little sanity. A… Read more »
As the Northeast continues to dig out from the Great East Coast #Snowpocalypse #Snowmageddon #SnOMG Blizzard of 2010 — or, as they call it in Buffalo, “December” — here’s an awesome time-lapse video from Belmar, NJ, which was right smack in the middle of the heaviest snow bands, and received a whopping 32 inches of the white stuff: December 2010… Read more »
Two nights after leapfrogging the competition in a “Jewish Christmas miracle” when Tulsa beat Hawaii in Honolulu, Rachel Dulitz took sole possession of the LRT Bowl Pick ’em Contest lead when Florida International beat Toledo in dramatic fashion Sunday in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl.
I wish all of you, Living Room Times readers, and your families and loved ones, the very happiest of holidays. Merry Christmas!!!
Tulsa’s surprise 62-35 win over Hawaii in a Christmas Eve shootout — on the Warriors’ home turf in the Hawaii Bowl — lifted Rachel Dulitz and Andrew Hunter, previously in a 14-way tie for fifth place, into a three-way tie for first place with Randy Styles in the 6th annual LRT Bowl Pick ’em Contest.
