AI Finals-Jordin Wins!

Ta dum. I haven't watched the final show and probably won't. Over the season, the hoopla quotient rises. Too much hoopla, not enough hope.

But I'm happy for Jordin, who just needs some training. I hope fame doesn't spoil her. I'm happy for Blake, too, who seems like a nice guy. I thought the talent this year was superior to last year's, and I look forward to next year. Is it great music? Generally not. Is it my kinda music? Not usually. But I enjoy watching some talented young people pursue their dreams. So sue me.

The final standings:

Arnold 26
Scott 32
Mom 34
Claire 35
Luke 36
Laura/Me 38
Caleb 42


So congratulations, Arnie. Everybody can figure out what they owe Arnie, but Arnie would like you not to send him any money. He won $500 on a scratch card last week (yes, he's the kind of person who buys who few instant tickets every week) and he is feeling flush. So, he is requesting that you take your "losings" and use them to commit an act of kindness. He says he would enjoy hearing what you do with his winnings, but it's up to you what you do.

Thanks for plyaing everybody. We will play again next year, with a new scoring system.

The best part of AI was that a calf is now named Jordin. But I too will be back next year, at least in the beginning when the regular people are competing. Don't ruin it by watching the final show.

Claire, thanks for your enthusiasm. It's a rare thing in today's world. Jordin the calf is healthy, btw, and enjoying her new fame.
