Day 11- Wed, May 21st

Tonight is the showcase showdown of two potential American Idols, but the only DAVID who is important today is my dad, David Ittermann who turned 60 today! Happy Birthday Dad! We love you!

Evan was much better today. No burping (that I heard.) Erin said she feels great about today's math portion of the EOG. Tomorrow is the last portion of math- calculator inactive part. Yeah! it's almost over! She's had an excellent teacher this year, Susan Lucas, so I'm not worried!

We had Steak Um's, tater tots and baby peas for dinner. For a special treat, we ate at the coffee table in the living room and watched an old DVD of "The Electric Company." If you are as old as me, you will remember that show! (Trivia question....what year was this show introduced?) The answer is 1971. Bill Cosby, Rita Moreno and Morgan Freeman looked hilarious! The kids really liked it and I, myself, felt like a little kid watching it again. It brought back so many memories! It's fun when you can share things like that with your own kids. Since it was from the 70's, everything was 'heavy', 'groovy', and 'right on!'

Chris called us right before dinner. He made it to Hollywood, CA! I completely freaked when he called and said, "I just saw Brad Pitt!"- He was just kidding though. I'm gullible, even 3000 miles away. How mad would I have been if that had been true and I wasn't there? He promised me to keep an eye out for any stars he might see. He and his dad are staying with his cousin, Thad and his wife, Ingrid and their twin boys. He said that David Hyde Pierce and Kathryn Heigel live close by. Way cool!

Off to watch the finale of "American Idol..." Go Davids!
