The bleedin’ pub’s on fire!
Comments Off on The bleedin’ pub’s on fire!
This evening, I went with my parents (who are in town visiting), Kristy and V to hear Brian Clancy, a local Irish pub singer — no relation to the Clancies of Makem/Clancy fame, though he sings a lot of their stuff — sing at the Irish Snug. During his second set, he sang “The Old Dun Cow,” a very funny… Read more »
Marade
I headed down to the Denver "Marade" for lunch. Lots of people honoring Dr. King. Also some miscellaneous protest causes, like these "Yes, Tunisia Can" folks. Love it. More pics at www.twitter.com/brendanloy.
Buried
My mom sends along this photo of the view from my parents’ front door in Newington, Connecticut, after the latest #snowpocalypse to hit the Northeast: Wow. That’s a lot of snow. We don’t have nearly as much on the ground here in Denver, but it was still enough for Loyette and I to build her first-ever snowman:

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.

Ralphie!
As you may have gathered from some of my tweets, I went to today’s Colorado-Iowa State game, with Kristy. It was fun! And Colorado won! (!!) Final score was 34-14. The clear highlight, though, was the up close & personal look we got at Ralphie — shortly after his pregame run around the field — when, en route to our… Read more »
Bennet & Bubba
Comments Off on Bennet & Bubba
Here’s the tail end of Michael Bennet’s speech last night in Denver, and the beginning of Bill Clinton’s: Although it perhaps defies convention, the Dems were very smart to have Bennet — the actual candidate — go before Clinton. If Bubba had spoken first, his lengthy stemwinder of a speech would have been an impossible act for the not terribly… Read more »
Boulder fire now worst ever in Colorado
I’ve been too busy this week to pay as much attention as I normally would to a major breaking-news story so nearby, but as I’m sure you know, a devastating wildfire is raging near Boulder, destroying at least 135 homes — making it the most destructive fire in Colorado state history, in terms of homes burned — with no end… Read more »
Warrior Dash, before & after
No comments from the peanut gallery on my t-shirt being a symbol of USC’s “dirty” program, please. 🙂 Oh, and about those hand-prints on Becky’s bra? I’d love to take credit, but they’re totally not mine! My hands are way bigger. 😛 They’re actually hers. I’m not sure what inspired her to grab her own boobs… I guess that’s just… Read more »
