Good Morning

Doolittle too late
Kind of a shocker on American Idol last night. Even though there is no evidence that she has a neck, I believe Melinda Doolittle was the best singer in the competition. But, as we know, that's not what it's about. I'm not a big fan of pop music, but I'm pretty sure Jordin Sparks has the potential to be one of those big pop stars. I would be shocked if Blake won. He's a good showman, but is clearly the worst singer to ever make it to the finals. If not for beat-boxing, he would have been voted out a month and a half ago.

Baby Latest
Our son is now 7 1/2 months old. He is babbling a lot and instead of "Mama", he says "A-ma". Instead of "Dada", he says "A-da". So you can probably guess that his first word is officially "Abba" (a Swedish Disco band). I'm not sure yet where he leans politically, but he's very close to saying "Obama".

Other TV thoughts
The Sopranos is winding down. This season started a little slow, but has been entertaining throughout. Now, it's really heating up and I expect the final 3 shows to be epic. If you've never watched the show, you have 7 seasons of DVD's to fill your time in the future.

Survivor is over. Like most people, we were rooting for Yau-man. Too bad he got screwed. I assume there will be another All-Stars season in the near future and Yau-man will be the first one chosen.

Heroes has one more episode. This show is tremendous and just keeps getting better. If you haven't watched this season (the first season), wait for July or August and buy it on DVD so you're ready for season two. The show is so fast-paced and satisfying, that it ruined Lost for us for awhile, although Lost has significantly picked it up over the past few weeks leading up to their own finale.
