Kien es tu papa

How was I supposed to watch American Idol after finding out that I am not Danny Lyn's Daddy. Congrats to Larry I wish him the best.

Today at work I was helping with with a sales survey where we put together a dog and pony show and set up a replica of the food stations we are going to add to their cafeteria. We had 45 minutes to convert a banquet room into 4 exhibition stations. It was fast and furious and crazy...but we pulled it off. It was one of the most bizarre caterings I have ever ran.

The Kleins are here in 2 days. Soddy Daisy may never be the same.

Easter Sunday

I had the best Easter I have had in years...maybe the best I have ever had. We went to the Terrells' in Madisonville, TN. We ate at a little hometown restaurant, watched the Masters, a great Easter egg hunt, time with family and some 2on 2.

• Anthony was so cute hunting eggs.


• I loved seeing every one Cindy, Brian their children Cole and Riley...Ken, Cathy, Jordon and Carley...Chuck and Sandi...They were all great.


• It was just fun being around everyone.

Now the low point...Ken and I got killed in 2 on 2. We lost the first 4 games and won the fifth. It was painful. It was hard watching Ken laying on the ground counting clouds. It was hard shooting like a joker. It was hard having Jordon play me on defense and shut me down. Brian was shooting the ball like he was good or something. It was a nightmare. Every time I tried to have a pep talk with myself Cindy would laugh at me. The only thing I can think would have changed things is if we would have been skins.

Ken and family get to Chattanooga on Thursday...I can't wait.

Go Melinda Go

So Sanjaya wasn't the weakest singer last night. My top three things from last nights show was:

1. When Melinda finishes tearing up the stage and the crowd is going crazy. Melinda is looking around in shock..."me???, You like my singing????, I am shocked..." Doesn't she get it? She is a real Diva / Virtuoso.

2. When Simon told Sanjaya he was incredible and he got excited like Simon was serious.

3. Haley Scarnoto...hello...Does Simon have any manors? When asked about her performance he says "you have great legs". I hadn't noticed until he said something...I am only focused on her vocal performance.

For those wagering or who want to plan a going away party...say goodbye to Phil Stacey.

Teresa and I did spin class last night. It was fun.

I just can't hide it...

I am so excited about the Iowa Klein's making an Easter trip to the South. When you think Easter you think ham...when you think ham...you think South. We have more kinds of ham than Portland has tofu.

We have a 2 on 2 game planned featuring the "bully brothers" vs Jordon and Brian. Our huge front line will be tough to stop.

Teresa and I have been doing a good job of working out. I am really proud of Teresa as she is hitting the gym harder than I have ever seen her. She has gone 3 days in a row and is really pushing herself. I have been doing well also...

Last night I had a big pop in my jaw. It hurt like a well diggers toe nail. I had to get up and take some Tylenol...However, this morning it feels great...better than before the pop...I noticed a bizarre surgery side effect today. When I used a q-tip in my right ear I felt it in my chin.

I just can't hide it...I am so excited...I'm about to lose control and I think I like it.

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.
