What a great night.

The weather this time of year in the Southeast Tennessee Mountains is amazing. On the way home I look at the rock climbers and tonight we are sitting on the back deck listening to our music and playing on our computers. We played with Anthony in his sand box and I hit some golf balls in the back yard. It is a good day.

Timora Dolores

My sister is the crafty CEO of Timora Dolores. I just saw her web site http://www.timoradolores.com/ and here is a great picture of her giving a speech or singing a song.

I love American idol. However, Sonjaya is gaining momentum...he wasn't even in the bottom 3. If it wouldn't accentuate my scar I would pull my hair out. I will miss good ole Chris as he was bringing chubby back. Here are the Rankings:

1. Melinda...so out in front she should get a couple of byes.

2. Blake...He will be huge after idol...He will be a cooler Jason Mraz.

3. LaKisha...wasn't a great performance...but Jordin singing Hey baby...kinda hurt

4. Jordin...she will bounce back next week.

5. Gina...I am surprised that she has creeped up this high.

6. Haley...I see your true colors and they are tan legs.

7. Phil...He is the favorite in Chattanooga and is improving fast.

8. Chris...Don't Speak

9. Sonjaya...okay now...for real...Ken said it best "He makes me uncomfortable"

I love Gwen Stephani. I thought she was great as the coach. She is so real...I am getting her poster for my office.

I will get back on track with my blog...My goal is 4 times a week starting now. Stay Classy.

How to understand American Idol

If you are having trouble understanding American Idol you are not alone. It it important that you are not using my rankings for gaming purposes. My rankings are also not to be confused with who will be voted off; they are however very accurate and scientific facts as to who are the best according to me.

This week we have a few changes:

1. Melinda LW #1 she is separating herself.

2. Blake LW #3 very creative

3. Jordin LW #5 she has arrived.

4. Lakisha LW #2 Very good...she will fault er on some genres

5. Chris...Fro Patrol LW #6 right there

6. Gina LW #7 next week she is going to do Hole.

7. Haley LW #9 because of her voice...It is a singing competition

8. Chris...JT LW #10 Blah

9. Phil LW # 8 improving...in trouble next week.

10. Sonjaya LW #11 She is horrible. It is time to go. For real.

Stephanie was voted off...my #4 ranked Idol.

I am off to dinner...in downtown Savannah.

Dancing with the stars

The time has come where I try to get Teresa to do the Samba with me around the house. Overall the show was alright. Unfortunately, the dancers are more stars than some of the stars... I love the dancers. The front runner out of the gate is easily Joey Fatone...he was in a boy band. Other than him it is wide open. The two week elimination deal is lame.

Everyone at home is sick. Everyone not named Gary Anthony. I have been trying to get home to take care of the family. Yesterday I made Chicken Noodle Soup and today I brought home milkshakes.

I leave for Savannah Georgia in the morning for work. I hopefully going to sit on the bench that Forest Gump sat in.

How about the Oregon Ducks...Watch out UNLV.

Sanjaya Lives

Everyone knows Sanjaya should be off of American Idol. It is okay that he is still around as it is only a matter of time before the final five of Melinda, Lakisha, Blake, Jordon and Stephanie are battling it out. The new Rankings are:

This Week Last Week

1. Melinda 1

2. Lakisha 3

3. Blake 2

4. Stephanie 4

5. Jordon 6

6. Chris w/ Fro 5

7. Gina 9

8. Phil 8

9. Haley 11

10. Chris...J T 10

11. Sanjaya 12

Out is Brandon who was ranked 7th. I think Chris (Justin Timberlake) will be around much longer than his ranking...I just don't like him that much. Haley moved up due to her potential and I think she will work hard. The rankings are not based just on previous week although it is impacted by the previous week. There really are 3 groups 1-5 who have separated from the pack. Chris at 6 who could go either way and the bottom dwellers 7-11 that any could eat it with a bad performance.

I had to take the car into the shop today...did I curse myself? I don't feel good about it.

How to eat spaghetti

It is well know within my family that I love spaghetti and know how to properly eat it. I take great pride in passing down to my children how to enjoy pasta...the torch is passed...may the legacy live.

Feelings

I am starting to get a little feeling inside my mouth. I can feel the inside of my cheek and it hurts. It hurts from how many times I have bitten it. It is black and blue. I am sure I will stop biting it and it will get better. It is encouraging to be getting some feeling never the less. I have always been a little emotional so it is good to get a little more feelings.

It has been good getting back to work. There is a lot going on and a lot to do. I really feel good about it as none of it is that hard it will just take some dedication and time to really get us on track.

March Madness is coming.

The Finals

Now that I have kicked the butt of my brain tumor I can focus on something very serious...American Idol. The final 12 are selected and America made two horrible mistakes.

Here the top 12 ranking:

1. Melinda


2. Blake


3. LaKisha


4. Stephanie


5. Chris - Jack Osborn


6. Jordon


7. Brandon


8. Phil


9. Gina


10. Chris - Justin Timberlake look alike


11. Haley


12. Senjiya

Senjiya and Haley should be on their way home and Sabrina should still be in. I know some might think Chris with the curly hair should be lower and Kisha should be higher however, Kisha while great will struggle late with the versatility and star power. Chris...I just like him. Melinda is solid.

He's back

So I am going back to work in the morning. I have been warned many times about not going back too early. I am ready. I have made some great progress the last two weeks and it won't be long til I am 100%. My head is a little tender but nothing big...I feel a lot better than when I was working before the surgery. I even went and got a haircut today. It was the same lady that cut my hair before my surgery...she was scared and very careful. After I made her feel comfortable I became the circus act, "hey Bonnie come look at his head. He had a tumor."

Lyn and Casey had a cookout for us yesterday and it was good to see everyone from work away from work. It was fun to watch all of the kids playing and interacting...we have a lot to look forward to...Thanks everyone.

Everyone has a SAAB story

I saw this article a couple of weeks that SAAB was offering an original SAAB owner who has driven their car a million miles a free SAAB. I was laughing for 8 minutes...I have put more money into my car than I can explain and although some of it can be linked to my lack of care for the car most of it is linked to a lemon of a car. Here is a little breakdown:

• Engine died in Canada at 78 K miles...$6500.


• 3 windows have gone out at $550 each = $1650. Still waiting for front passenger window.


• Air conditioning compressor $2200.


• Internal thermometer $225.

This is over $10,000 in repairs. My 99 SAAB is worth $3000. HAHAHAHAhAhaha

A million miles...are you joking me??? I will be driving my SAAB for a long time to work and back, to bowling tourneys, and whatever else I need. I like having my satellite radio in the SAAB and I might even fix my broken speakers one day.

I have 121,000 miles on my SAAB and 85,000 miles on my engine. I plan on driving it until Anthony is in Kindergarten. This is my SAAB story...It is not about the aircraft precision. Big deal the key is next to the emergency brake.
