Russ and I are watching "The Sing Off" .... of course 2 weeks lake. On one team, a lot of them look like famous people! One guy looked familiar but I couldn't get the name. I ask russ ...

I put my arms around him in a loving motherly embrace. I gave him a big kiss and whispered "Good Morning." ... and he looked up at me with those TRUSTING and LOVING eyes and smiled at me.
