• 19:42 (1) Wow! I’m stunned at Urban Meyer’s resignation. Stunned. Wishing him health and happiness. (2) Ellis Paul starts in 20 minutes. Geeked.

• 00:15 I’m not a fan of the Catholic Church, but I can’t condone bum rushing the pope. For starters, dude is 82. Not cool. Lump of coal for you.
• 12:11 Watching "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring." Considering a LOTR marathon today and wishing my TV was bigger Merry merry!

• 14:49 The balcony party on Bourbon St. is a go for NYE in NOLA. Shout if you want in. It’s going to rock! Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

• 14:50 I’m working on renting a balcony on Bourbon Street for New Year’s Eve. Even if you’re not going to the Sugar Bowl, are you interested??

• 10:44 UC fans – If you’re going to be in NOLA for NYE will you pay $130ish per person for a private party/balcony on Bourbon Street? Please reply.
• 13:01 People of NH, get your texting while driving in now. 11 texting days left. NH texting while driving ban takes effect January 1st. $100 fine.
• 22:16 Go see Avatar in IMAX 3D! Leave the house or stop what you’re doing right now and see it tonight. It’s that good. I promise.

• 17:35 Hoping to settle in for the longest night of the year with a Bengals win. After that, it’s time for my annual viewing of Grumpy Old Men.

• 08:05 Thank you all for the birthday love. I’m very grateful. We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

• 11:55 Lunch at Barking Crab followed by a drink at Top of the Hub. Finish with dinner at Ten Center Street and a table full of friends. Not bad.

• 16:35 Now following @CoachJonesUC on Twitter. In other news, the timing of this – is.gd/5rHvU – is a bit spooky given today’s reports.
