It’s Memorial Day and I’m still dragging a bit. It was the day of our annual Ribs BBQ that I started and usually do the cooking. But not knowing how I might feel and having already made arrangements for someone else to get the grill going. I decided not to go. I could have made it. The diarrhea has stopped, but my stomach is still touchy. I’m careful what I eat. However, I did want some ribs. Gail brought me some after the event. I was going to just save them for another day, but the smell overwhelmed me and I nibbled on one.
I am at least getting my apartment cleaned up. All I have left are floors. I need to vacuum then wash the kitchen and bathroom. There’s always tomorrow. That seems to have become my motto as of late.
I don’t know how many of you watched American Idol this year? I watched it the first couple of years and then lost interest. I am not sure how I got hooked again this year, but somehow I did. It was still in the selections stage. Some people find that phase the most entertaining, but I just want to get to the real talent. I thought the talent was amazing and believed the judges did a great job with the top 24 before the heavy whittling got going. I have emotional interest invested. I liked Scotty McCreary and Lauren Alaina and enjoyed watching them progress through the way-to-many steps.
I’m biased, I admit. Scotties a throwback to older times. He reminds me of Johnny Cash. I’m not a huge Country fan, but I liked Johnny. I loved Scotties deep voice. I also loved what appeared to be his genuine faith in Christ. Who knows, he might even tempt me to listen to more Country music. There is an online debate about whether Scottie will sell any records (the measure of success). I doubt it helped Scottie that I found one opinion site loaded with wonderful comments from the 50 and up crowd. It seems many seniors are big fans. That might be his death knell. We are the wrong target group.
It’s interesting to be in the group that no longer has any significant contribution to make. It makes me laugh. I love to sit back and watch younger people try to redo everything we did instead of learn from our mistakes. However, they may as well mess up on their own. I did and now I’m unwanted and out on the trash heap. But I’m laughing. I hope they will find humor when it is their turn to be thrown out with the trash. It’s not so bad. No one bugs me any more.

I also really enjoyed AI this year. Steven Tyler is a bit of a freak, but he's kind of fun to watch! I think James Durbin may sell more records than Scotty, despite not winning. But - it seems you Americans are crazy about country music, and all the girls who voted for Scotty to win will likely buy his music and attend his concerts. He's a nice boy - and I was glad he won (even though country is not my favourite).
I also enjoyed watching Jacob Lusk and think he could succeed in a gospel niche.
Glad you are feeling a little better.

I liked those people too. There was so much talent. Amazing. I am not a country fan, but certainly could add that to my list. Tyler was funny, but has a mouth on him.
