Good afternoon. This is my first ever blog entry. I'm really excited to post the happenings of my life for all to enjoy :) I will try not to bore the heck out of you. First, I would like to thank Clint Smith for his help and inspiration. Second, I would like to give you a very brief summary of my current situation: After only two years in New York, I seem to have gotten the hang of it. The only problem is... I don't have enough visitors, hint hint. But hopefully that will change.
This has been the "year of Charlotte". Brian and I are having so much fun with her, who turns one-year-old next month. This year has gone by so fast.
TRAVEL: I'll be in Dallas in May for work. I'll get to see Michael Jackson and stopping by to see cousin Jane, Kirk and squeezing little cousin Kirk Baylor III. Brian, Charlotte and I have a couple trips planned; to St. Louis in June for the Bridgeton/Aquinas Carpool Reunion and then to Florida in July to vacation with the Langs, Smegos and Marshs. Great fun!
SHOUT OUTS: Happy Travels to Marty and Kelly who are off to Vegas this week! I'm jealous. I hope you get a chance to gaze upon my true love, Barry Manilow.
To Jim and Di Kerrigan heading to Venice, Milan, Bellagio & Bologna (home of my Italian ancestors). Kudos to Ali Stein, who apparently threw the most amazing spa day at her spread in Wisconsin, also very jealous of you ladies who got to attend.
And to my niece Samantha who lost her goggles in her swim meet last night, that's good stuff there :)
ROLLER DERBY: Turns out the sport is very dangerous, according to my friend 8-track Dave. One woman broke her leg during a recent match in Chicago. I was looking into joining a team in New York, one team is called the "Gotham Girls" and the new Staten Island team is called "The Staten Island Boardwalk Babes" Cute huh? These girls are pretty tough with lots of tatoos, which I don't have. So I don't think I'll fit into this crowd. However the sport still intrigues me. For those of you who think I'm joking, I'm not! I've always been a derby fan. I used to watch it every Saturday morning. Due to recent information from 8-track, I'll probably have to continue to watch it on TV like the rest of the non-tattooed moms.
AMERICAN IDOL: OK...... make fun all you want, but admit you love it too!!!!
First of all, what the hell was Kelly Pickler thinking? That song was terrible! who is helping this girl pick her music? AND... I haven't been a huge fan of Chris in prior shows, but wow! He was so hot last night. I love that song, "to really love a woman" awesome! I missed Katherine's performance due to a dirty diaper and bath time, but I saw the highlights, looks like she did pretty well as usual. I think Katherine is the big contender and I'm stuck between Elliott and Chris for the male hold out. I think it will most likely be Katherine and Chris in the final two spots. Taylor's song brought back some memories, made me feel like I was back in Denny Naumann's van after a CYC dance. Anyway, I'm rooting for my gal Katherine, love her voice.
That's all for my first entry, I don't want to overwhelm my readers. Don't worry there will be plenty more where this came from and future entries will be much more entertaining. And, they will inevitably include several photos of my dear Charlotte.

Kelly is going to make it to the end because Simon LOVES her. There are a lot of Rock Stars that can't sing. BTW, I thought that the songs last week were by FAR the best that have been on the entire show. And Rod Stewart was awesome. I don't know why I thought he couldn't sing. My Bad.
Oh, BTW, I can't believe you would let a little thing like, "a broken leg" stop you!
