Hi…hope you had a really nice weekend…I want to take a moment to welcome Monnie Whitson back…she has been away for several weeks..her dad passed away and we will all miss Tony…he was just a wonderful person to everyone who knew him.  Since I’m a fan of American Idol…I’m eager to find out if Paula Abdul will return as a judge for the upcoming season and there is word out today that her manager is hinting that she will not likely be back for season number nine…I still think that she will work out her disagreements with the show and will be back…in the meantime Simon, Randy and Kara have inked a new deal…so we’ll be kept waiting for awhile…..Lee
