Last night, each of the top four performed twice. The artist of the evening was Barry Gibb, of the BeeGees. Once again, the contestants struggled with the genre. Only Jordan managed to perform well. Not only did she choose the right songs, she performed them flawlessly. I was not surprised to see LaKisha and Blake … Continue reading American Idol Results 05/09/07

New toy
Yesterday was my birthday and I got a new toy. I've been wanting a Blackberry for a long time, but really couldn't justify having it, especially considering that the service was an additional $20/month. Anyway, I finally decided that it was worth the extra $20 and gave a call to TMobile to check on my … Continue reading New toy
American Idol Results 05/02/07
Tonight's American Idol results show resulted in two contestants being booted off. If you recall, last week was the big fundraiser so no one got voted off. Last week's vote totals were combined with last night's to decide who had to leave. Over 135 million votes were cast in the two weeks. Last night was … Continue reading American Idol Results 05/02/07
Babies
Every year, a pair of Canada geese nest in my yard, at the water's edge. The male is a ferocious bird, chasing away anything that comes around. Not only will be go after other geese, but I saw him chase off a Great Blue Heron a few days ago. Yesterday, we caught a glimpse of … Continue reading Babies

One of the questions was what their career choice would be if they weren't in politics. Obviously, Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo didn't understand the question. His answer? President. … Continue reading “I’d be an architect”
Doo Dah Parade Friday
If you are in Norfolk tomorrow, catch the occasional downtown Doo Dah Parade. It starts at 12:30 pm at Commercial Place, goes down Main St. to the World Trade Center then comes back and concludes at Selden Arcade. In the past, this fun event took place on April Fools Day. I'm glad they moved it … Continue reading Doo Dah Parade Friday
American Idol Results 04/25/07
Tonight's results show was a two-hour telethon - Idol Gives Back - in which money was raised to help children in poverty both here in the US and in Africa. The images of the children were haunting. We live in supposedly the richest country in the world, yet in eastern Kentucky, only 5 families of … Continue reading American Idol Results 04/25/07
Something to Talk About
I saw Bonnie Raitt in concert last night. She performed at the Ntelos Pavilion in Portsmouth as a part of the Virginia Arts Festival, more specifically, the Ruth Brown Blues Festival. It was my first trip to this venue and although it was a bit chilly, it was a very nice concert. Raitt, paying tribute … Continue reading Something to Talk About
American Idol Results 04/18/07: FINALLY!!!!!
Thank goodness for TiVo 😉 I watched last night's show this morning. With its country theme, there were some pretty good performances. I was surprised at Phil - the guy was definitely in a zone and gave his best performance of the season. There were also some pretty bad performances. Ending up in the bottom … Continue reading American Idol Results 04/18/07: FINALLY!!!!!
