About me
I'm Brendan Loy, a 26-year-old graduate of USC and Notre Dame now living and working in Knoxville, Tennessee. My wife Becky and I are brand-new parents of a beautiful baby girl, born on New Year's Eve.
I'm a big-time sports fan, a politics, media & law junkie, an astronomy buff, a weather nerd, an Apple aficionado, a Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter fanatic, and an all-around dork. My blog is best-known for its coverage of Hurricane Katrina, but I blog about anything and everything that interests me.

Congrats. Sorry, I don't have that kind of time, but I was there, so I don't think I particularly need to watch the whole thing ;-)

Thanks :) I watched it :) Love you both :)

Happy anniversary, Brendan and Becky! Despite my horrendous bout with the flu, I had a great time and was honored to be the Best Man. I was even more honored to be in the jacuzzi when all the ladies decided to give their boobies freedom. Bea also had a great time. ;-)

Wonderful to revisit that happy moment. We were all so happy to be with you for your beautiful wedding. By the way - check the pool - I picked today for the arrival of Loyette! Be well and happy, Tom, Bonnie and Kim

Thanks for those fond & lovely Reminiscences; and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! :)
(Andrew, notwithstanding your awful illness you performed your duties bravely. / And you did very well at the Wedding & Reception, too. ;)
Posted by: Joe Loy | Dec 30, 2007 8:28:39 AM
Andrew, you had the flu during that? 10 merits awarded.
Posted by: kcatnd | Dec 30, 2007 8:49:32 AM
Congratulations on the anniversary. You are a lucky guy. After reading this blog for 2 1/2 years I kind of see you as a really, really successful version of me. Makes me jealous.

Andrew wasn't the only one with the flu, I missed out on the bachelor party tryin to get my fever down

Apparently my groomsmen are allergic to me. :)
Posted by: Brendan Loy | Dec 30, 2007 2:39:45 PM
Heh, no, your off the hook on this one, i got it from my sister over Christmas. Yeah flying wasn't fun either. I probably contaminated the entire plane just for you!

Not fishing for anything, Wobbly, just sharing memories of a joyous day. I fail to understand why you feel the need to be a prick even under the guise of being nice. Did your mother never teach you the "if you can't say something nice" rule? This is now the second time you have poisoned a wedding-video thread with your unprovoked nastiness. Why do I tolerate you again?

Happy Anniversary from ND Law :)
Posted by: Drive-By Media | Dec 30, 2007 9:18:35 PM
I suppose should wish you happy anniversary but i'm too busy pouting that the baby didn't come today so I'm outta luck in the pool ;-)
