Mom is into Seal

This afternoon in the middle of football games galore, NBC was one of its counter programing offers. The figure skaters were skating to Seal. There were some surprising performs. Brian Boitano and Karen Kadavie. What was interesting was that the live performer that they were skating to was Seal. Sue had no knowlege of his music. She did know, unlike me, that he was married to Heidi Kloone. Please forgive the spellings here a spell checker is of no vaule.

She also discovered that Seal is a common singer for many of the routines that the skaters perform. If fact... as far as fact goes, that Kristie Yamaguchi went back into training to be a part of the performance when the promoters told her that Seal would perform live. She gave a very credible performance. She didn't do her every jump like she did for Stars on Ice many years ago, but she did do some jumps.

The upshot of the show was that she has a new singer to follow. I downloaded a collection of his songs on ITunes that will bring us up to 2004. The reviewer noted that Seal did not really develop a recognizable consistant sound in this era although there are many songs that were recognizable. So we are going to go through them together and decide which are going to make it to the Suzie channel. Its kind of a narrow band of tolerance.

I made a big roast beef for New Years day. Its the easy recipe where a bottle of red wine is dumped in with the roast and 2 and half hours later the roast is plucked out and a gravy is made from the drippings. Peeled potatoes were added in the last 40 minutes. They could have been cooked a little longer. Overall its an easy dinner with lots of leftovers that doesn't require a lot of careful cook's attention. The wine was a simple 2 buck chuck from Trader Joe's. The cabernet makes a perfect cooking wine because it is not one that you wouldn't drink.

Have a great 2009. Tomorrow is Linzi's birthday.. wow!

Love
