How refreshing to see Simon Cowell

Yes. We get American Idol in Shanghai. There is actually a channel dedicated to playing popular American sitcoms. We get it a day later than the US but the horrendous still sound horrid any day of the week.

It was good to see that my brother, aka "Red", got to be the last audition from Seattle. He represented my own karoke skills pretty well with his rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.

Other than a little American Idol here in Shanghai, things are continuing to settle down. The boat shipment finally arrives soon. Appararently, it starts the customs clearance process Friday. No one really knows how long it could be there.

The boat shipment includes lots more kitchen stuff, outdoor kids' toys (bikes), and the rocking chair. Oh, how I miss the rocking chair. We've created a small spot on the floor in Elijah's to read him books before bed. It's cozy but can't hold a candle to the rocker. And it's an old LCC "Heartland" rocker that we inherited because the Heartland setup guys were tired of moving it on and off the trailer. So, one of the Bowman sentimental favorites will arrive shortly!

Uh, one of the kids is starting to groan in bed. See ya.
