"American Idol", etc.

Watched "American Idol" last night with the family. It truly is great television. Really good singers, really bad singers, mostly spot-on comments by Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson. The most memorable moment was at the end, when 44-year-old Ronaldo Lopuz sang a song he had written. It was truly awful, but Paula and Randy got up to dance, and Ronaldo gave Simon a hug at the end. I have not laughed that hard in a long time.

In other news, I got the formal offer from ACA this morning, setting forth the terms of the offer (base salary, post allowance, living quarters allowance) and a departure date of 17 February. I will have more on this tomorrow.
