I know I’ve been remiss in the juice and toast. Yeah, I’m a bad waitress. Long weekend got the better of me.

So, to all of you, I offer you this today …

Without you, and you, and you — it’s just me. Hard to have a party all by yourself. Unless, you’ve got multiple personalities - and then it’s a really interesting party.  There’s something to stick in your coffee.

Have a great humpa humpa day!

Was watching TV and saw this video … awesome song.

Don’t know much about the group yet, but plan to check out more of their stuff.

What do you think? Like them?

TGIF!  It’s a short day to start a long weekend.  That makes it an even better TGIF! 

To start the day, here’s a song that offers some inner reflections of hope.  There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.  Keep pushing when it seems fruitless.

Have a happy - and safe - holiday everyone.  If you’re traveling, please please put on the uber-reaching antennae and watch out for the assholes around you.

I’ve watched all of 2 episodes this year of American Idol.  Last night was the 2nd.  And I was absolutely impressed.  By David Cook.  And he won.  As I was watching it, I honestly hoped he’d take the crown. I was thrilled when he did. He’s got an incredible voice and a more incredible personality.

I believe David Cook has the potential to be the first male winner of the show to truly excel to the superstardom ranks of Kelly and Carrie.  And I wish him all the successes and happiness as he crosses the next stone on the path to that ultimate superstardom.  Well deserved!  Well deserved.

My advice to David, and the others - stay true to your roots, enjoy the shit out of the journey - and don’t ever lose sight of the ground beneath you.  Without it, the fall is steep. Oh, and get a camera to record the journey to look back on it when the whirlwind has settled.  Otherwise, you may forget the little things that made it special.

Congratulations - looking forward to following your career path.

As far as the finale - there were some awesome, outrageous pair-ups and performances.  By far, the best they’ve done yet. Here’s my take on them:
