Will be fun to see the dresses, the kilts, the horses,and the landmarks ...but NOT at 1 A.M. Pacific time. I'm sure I can see whatever I want, whenever I want as the media will be all over it.

At least Kate will introduce a bit of "common blood" into the family. I read several months ago that last Christmas will be the last one that Kate will be ALLOWED to spend with her family as the "royals" spend Christmas with the queen...and Kate's parents will not be invited to spend Christmas with the "royals". So much for the "softer, gentler" public face of the royal family.

While I'm not big fan of the monarchy, but in light of how this country's leadership has snubbed and insulted our long-standing British friends and closest allies, I offer my sincerest apologies. No wonder no American government leaders weren't invited to the wedding. Who'd want them there?

Can you imagine how insulting it was to the Brits to have the bust of Winston Churchill that was in the Oval Office returned to them?! That was sent to the US citizens as a sympathetic remembrance of the Sept. 11, 2001 attack.

Maybe a cup of English Breakfast tea will be good with my toast on Saturday morning (Pacific Time) as I watch recorded snippets of the festivities. I may even make some scones. Yummy.

Felicitations and Congratulations to "The Kids".
