I usually watch American Idol, this season is especially boring. One thing that does strike me as odd is just how freaking old the songs they sing are!

For the songs I could find the years for last night:

Don’t Get Around Much Anymore 1942 – 65 years old.

Mack The Knife 1928 – 79 years old.(!)

Stormy Weather 1933 – 74 years old.

I Got Rhythm 1930 – 77 years old.

Night and Day 1932 – 75 years old.

Smile 1936 – 71 years old.

Cheek to Cheek 1935 -72 years old.

That makes the average age of the songs sung last night 73.28 years old!

These are songs your GREAT and GREAT GREAT grandparents listened to. I know some songs are timeless, but, come on. Sing something just a little more current. 2 weeks ago was no help, with the British Invasion songs. Most were 40 years old or so.
I am about an episode away from not watching anymore, because I just don’t care anymore.

Went to Geneva, IL yesterday and came back this afternoon. It was our first night away from Glenn.
The hotel was nice. If you ever want to see the cleanest hotel room, go to Country Inns by Carlton. Never seen a more spotless room.

Took some photos of the Fox river while we were there and of a windmill there too. When we re-visit, I think we will try a picnic at the windmill.

It was pretty relaxing, Glenn was not too bad when we were gone.
