April 29: Quick Post, Royal Wedding, Who Cares?

I don't have a lot of time to post.  I had the day off work, but I've been running errands all day.  I went out to lunch with my sister, cleaned my house, and tried to find time to write a new poem (I failed--it will be coming tomorrow).  Tonight, I am going on a date with my wife to see Water For Elephants.  I loved the book, but I'm not a fan of Robert (hunky vampire) Pattinson.  I'll give you my review tomorrow.

Of course, the big news of the day was the wedding of Kate and William in England.  I did not get up at 4 a.m. to watch the nuptials.  I did catch bits and pieces on the TV during the day.  Of course, I wish any newlyweds the best of luck, but the hype surrounding this whole event has driven me a bit crazy.  William said they wanted it to be a more conservative event, considering the economy.  Well, from what I saw, there wasn't a whole lot of pomp that was spared in the pomp and circumstance category.  Anyway, tallyho to Kate and Wills.  My entire take on the wedding:  who cares?  (Is that too American of me?)

I am going to a graduation ceremony of a friend tonight, as well.  She's a great person who's had a very difficult time in the last few years.  She deserves some happiness and good luck.  Her ex-husband is in prison, but she's now engaged to a really nice guy and is embarking on a career in nursing.  It was a huge struggle for her, with two very young kids, but she did it.  Her graduation is a testament to the power of hope and prayer.

Have a good night, my loyal reader(s).  And good luck to Wondertwin, my number one fan.  She's running a half-marathon this Sunday.

Saint Marty's off to the royal wedding reception.  Cheers!


You may snog the bride
