We won half of our games on Saturday. The first one went the whole 7 innings, and we held them to no runs in the bottom of the 7th. The defense really came through. Then in Meg's game, they didn't have enough players so Sara played. She went from a 9-10 game to a 14 & under game, only they were playing an 18 & under team. In one inning the two sisters were playing 2nd and shortstop and made a great play together. And they didn't even fight about it in the process!
Sunday I was able to prep the driveway in the afternoon. Got it washed off and sealed the cracks. Monday morning I got it sealed. Looks 100 times better.
Yesterday the bride and I drove out the Natchez Trace Parkway and had breakfast at the world-famous Loveless Cafe. It was all good - the country ham, grits, eggs, biscuits, hash brown casserole, the steak biscuit. Mind you, I didn't eat this all by myself. Half of it was the bride's. We plan on going out there for supper sometime soon as a family.
The rest of the day was spent running errands and mowing the yard. Got new tags for my car. If anyone ever wonders why government workers are picked on so much, they need to go pick up tags in Franklin. If the workers there had CRAWLED they couldn't have been any slower. Nuff said.
As for last night's top 4 AI performances, the night belonged to Mr. Hicks and Mr. Yamin. Here's a recap:
Taylor Hicks - Taylor started off the show with "Jail House Rock". (I knew what was coming from Simon "Sunshine" Cowell, because he said late last week that he couldn't stand "Jail House Rock" and hoped that no one would sing it, but if anyone did it would be Taylor.) I loved it, as did everyone else did in the audience. He followed with "In the Ghetto", and again he did an excellent job. So good that Simon even praised him for it.
Chris Daughtry - Picked great songs for his vocal range. "Suspicious Minds" is a great song, but he made it pretty boring. In fact, until the last 10-15 seconds of "A Little Less Conversation", he managed to make it boring, also. Chris has a great career ahead of himself, but last night he didn't do anything to help himself in the competition. He's in the bottom 2 tonight.
Elliott Yamin - Possibly the best performance of the night was "Trouble". Elliott has really stepped up his game the past couple of weeks. His first song, "If I Can Dream", started off rough, but he finished strong.
Katharine McPhee - Coming in, I thought she'd have trouble with Elvis songs. I'm not sure if it's the music or her nerves that's getting the best of Katharine. "Hound Dog/All Shook Up" was OK, but she forgot some of the lyrics. "Can't Help Falling in Love" showed how Kat has a problem with the higher notes. Again, she's got a big career ahead of her, but she's in the bottom 2 tonight.
I've been thinking that it'll be an all-guy top 3. But after last night, it could be Chris going home tonight. However, it's too close to call, so I'm hedging and saying it's either Chris or Katharine. Either way, the producers will say that tonight's cast-off will be a shocker.....
