"Do You Take This Women for Your Lawful Wife", American Quartet - Victor 
17554-A (02/13/1914)


This week's theme: The Royal Wedding!

Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle

I know!

Everybody is all a twitter.

I don't know how we can contain ourselves with all the excitement!

Bumper-to-bumper TV coverage starting at 3:00 AM in the morning and lasting 
all day long!

I'll have to record it so I can re-live the excitement over and over again!

I haven't decided what I'm going to wear yet --- okay, I'm not really 
going - but that doesn't mean I can't dress up just to watch them on T.V. 
does it.


If you're like me, and I know I am ...

Then ... well, ... actually, ... I couldn't care less.


Did you know that Queen Elizabeth II is the world's richest woman and as 
queen she legally owns 1/6 of the world's land surface?

The royal family wasn't always so rich, they made it big in the 1800s 
raising opium poppies on huge plantations in India and selling the resulting 
opium into China.

The Chinese resisted but were crushed in the two Opium Wars. (How did you 
think Britain got Hong Kong?)

The British didn't get to have the world's largest empire by being a bunch 
of nice guys.
