American Idol

I like American Idol. I managed to get sucked in about every year.

This year, my money is on Melinda Doolittle. Period.

I liked LaKisha at first, but after Ms. Doolittle delivered her interpretation of "My Funny Valentine" a few weeks ago, I changed camps. I still like LaKisha and a couple of others, but I'll say it again, Melinda gets my vote.

I think there are a few in the top 12 that really shouldn't be there. There are a couple of contestants that try to cover up lack of vocal quality with runs and fancy schmancy singing. No thanks. I guess we'll just wait as there are picked off one by one.

Rumore has it that they're raising the age limit to 35 next year. I've always wanted to go for it, but have been too old. Not now.

Hmmmm....

Congratulations!

First of all, sending out a big happy birthday to my daddy today! Yea!

Second of all, my friend, Kate, had her baby today. His name is Jonas Caleb and he weighed TEN pounds and was 23 inches long! Whoo hoo. From all reports I hear, Kate and Jonas are both doing well.

Happy birthday, little man. Welcome to the world!
