Relinquishing the Reins of Idol Pool

As of today, I am giving my daughter, Susan Hawkins, the envelope containing the money, and the list of Idol pool entrants and their selections. I have trained her to be forthright and honest and hopefully, she will conduct the pool in a manner indicative of her upbringing. Since I have a $20 stake in this adventure, I certainly hope I can trust her to do it right! :)

As of last night's elimination of Allison (John, Sara, and Kirk had Allison #4 and earned an additional 50 points) I believe I have a good chance of winning the pot so I have an extreme interest in Susan getting the scores right!

In case there is anyone in this world who may not already know why I am relinquishing my responsibilities to Susan, it is because on the day the winner is announced, I will be leaving Venice and traveling past the Palladian villas along the Brenta Canal and heading into the forested Apennine Mountains to Tuscany! Sorry I am missing American Idol - NOT!!!

Yeah, really! I think I can probably sacrifice Idol this one time in replace of the Tuscan villa.

Plus...I have no chance of winning the money, so what's the point?
