Cynthia Borris: American Idol Thanks!
http://cynthiaborris.blogspot.com/2011/05/american-idol-thanks.html
Thursday, May 26, 2011. Season ten is now over. Congratulations Scotty and yes, Lauren, too. Many thanks to everyone who joined in the weekly observations on the shrills, squeals and high notes. I appreciate all your wonderful comments and interaction. Dial Idol is quiet. And of course, right on with the prediction. My own method of checking the most comments on iTunes, a pale comparison, but it marked the Scotty power trend. Surprisingly, Haley was a strong iTune contender. Labels: American Idol finale.

Cynthia Borris: August 2010
http://cynthiaborris.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Naked Men on the Market. Two naked men walked down Market St in San Francisco. Save for the flip-flops and one birthday hat and a sign that read vote for someone for supervisor, imagination wasn't needed. The dimpled-pock mark on the thinner man's right butt cheek; the only crinkle in his pale skin. Cameras snapped, Twitter tweeted and for me, I walked behind the behind with the pock-mark on the right-cheek and noted both men's fine physical shape. Not a wrinkle or sag. Guess I'...

Cynthia Borris: October 2009
http://cynthiaborris.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 27, 2009. At a recent family party, I cuddle my grand-nephew and introduce him to a guest. 8220;He has such beautiful hair.” The woman coos and tickles his belly. 8220;Levi, the first redhead of his generation,” I beam. Just like his aunt a blend of enough red to be smart and enough blonde to be dumb I take silent note. 8220;Isn’t there a history of redheads in your family? 8221; She says. Startled, I question her eye sight. Just what the heck do you think I am? I swallow my thought.

Cynthia Borris: No More Turkeys
http://cynthiaborris.blogspot.com/2011/11/no-more-turkeys.html
Wednesday, November 16, 2011. Beware of turkeys bearing turkeys. Somebody answer the phone! I lug the twenty-two pound turkey into the kitchen, plop it on the breadboard and drop my keys. The phone screams a fourth ring. Hi, this is Ned," a husky voice greets me. Hi, Ned," my arms ache from carrying in the bulky groceries. I hunch my shoulders to release the tension. Sure Ned that would be great." I fake enthusiasm. I reach to the cupboard and scout out the Maalox supply. Buy out the store? Krista checks...

Tuesday, November 8, 2011. Reprinted in memory of Mom - July 9, 1920 - October 31, 2011 - who believed in more than a little. Ut what're you going to do? You need to get a regular job." I held the receiver away from my ear as Mom's voice spiked. Mom, the original fix-her-upper. I swallowed my thought. 8220;You’ve got to fit into the mold.”. 8220;I’m not broken, just broke. Those are two different things." The conversation continued; a circle of unlike minds. You should be a secretary.". I turned to my pi...

Cynthia Borris: American Idol Top Nine Honor Your Idol
http://cynthiaborris.blogspot.com/2012/03/american-idol-top-nine-honor-your-idol.html
Thursday, March 29, 2012. American Idol Top Nine Honor Your Idol. With Dianne Warwick in the audience, the flag of redemption raised for Heejun and nine fantastic performances, what can I say? The night was the best in American Idol history. No a shrill, squeak or not-my-fault-frown from any contestant. Come to think of it, this year the attitude on stage is high octane par one. Jessica commanded the stage and let her voice take you on a journey. Humble with much potential. My exit vote is: Heejun. Ameri...
