And THIS is why I don't watch Idol. Luke Luke Luke...dude you done your uncle Mark proud! (Mark, Gina's hubby, was on for a second--he was one of the two men lifting him in congratulations when he made the cut...very cool for his kids)
**Oops, I realize the initial title kind of sounded like I knew the kid--I don't, it's my FRIEND's nephew, not my friend. Sorry?
I've been fortunate enough to have a dear friend in Gina for ten years. Gina (shown on the left) was my neighbor for ten years....and Elaine (middle, next to me) is her best friend. We've all three since moved from the neighborhood, but remain good friends. Gina and I attend the same church, so it's easy to keep in touch.
I'd love to tell you more about them, they taught me a lot about what friends should be to each other. But right now (are you ready for this D and B/S?) I'm blogging about Gina because her nephew will be Conetestant Number 8 on American Idol tonight!

Even though I'm not an American Idol fan, I will be tonight. So because Gina, called and asked us to vote then fired up the computer to email us (little faith in our ability to retain information?) I'll do it! I'm sure
