\"\"<\/a>I should never be writing this because as one of the first posts on my blog, it’s not about what I really care about and besides it will surely mislead you as to who I am and what I am all about.<\/p>\n

Plus, you are first thing off going to get to thinking that I’m the \u201cAndy Rooney\u201d of antagonists who pan the British Royal Family.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not Andy Rooney and I could care less if the Brits waste their money on a Royal Family.\u00a0\u00a0That’s up to them!<\/p>\n

Speaking of Andy Rooney, doesn\u2019t he have the neatest, coolest staccato ire and sarcasm in his voice that just sucks you in?<\/p>\n

But this is not about the old guy on TV on Sunday nights.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s about the Brits and the Royal Wedding.<\/p>\n

After all the Brits are really nice people who are our best friends even after we beat them in a long-time humiliating war sometime after 1776 when we won our independence from them in the Revolutionary War.<\/p>\n

How graceful is that?!?\u00a0\u00a0Plus the Brits have the DNA that gave us Cary Grant!\u00a0\u00a0Now anyone who has cable TV, or is over the age of 50, I know has seen a Cary Grant romantic comedy movie and will know exactly what I\u2019m talking about.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not only funny.\u00a0\u00a0Cary Grant is more than that, he\u2019s downright delightful!\u00a0\u00a0His eyes sparkle.\u00a0\u00a0His whole demeanor sparkles.\u00a0\u00a0He\u2019s more than romantic.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s romantic, coupled with great looks and the best smile ever put on the face of a human by God Almighty!<\/p>\n

He\u2019s the quintessential of \u201cperky\u201d in maleness.\u00a0\u00a0Do you know of even one other perky male?\u00a0\u00a0Cary Grant is, you know, like the Katie Couric of the quintessentialness of the female of \u201cperkiness.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0(Alright, I know \u201cquintessentialness\u201d isn\u2019t a word, but it works here, and I can\u2019t think of anything else that says what I mean.\u00a0\u00a0Just go with it, okay?)<\/p>\n

Now, back to the Royal Wedding and the whole purpose of this post.\u00a0\u00a0(But, hold on a minute, I\u2019m going to have to search it on the Net to get the names of the two who are getting married.)\u00a0\u00a0I never committed their names to my long-term memory \u2013 and if I were to admit the whole truth, I never even deposited them into my short-term memory bank either .\u00a0\u00a0. . . . . . . . . . .<\/p>\n

Okay, yeah, I got their names!\u00a0\u00a0Thank the heavens for the Net.\u00a0\u00a0I looked at Rob Kerby\u2019s blog here on Beliefnet at:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/on_the_front_lines_of_the_culture_wars\/2011\/04\/a_prayer_for_william_and_kate.html<\/a><\/p>\n

and got their names there.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s Prince William and commoner Kate Middleton.<\/p>\n

Now, at last, for the whole of the entire reason why I\u2019m writing this!<\/p>\n

Am I the only vixetta here on planet earth (that\u2019s a wolf who is of the female gender) who could care less about the Royal Wedding?<\/p>\n

Frankly, my dear, I just don\u2019t give a darn.\u00a0\u00a0Do you?\u00a0\u00a0Leave me a note and let me know if you don\u2019t care either.<\/p>\n

If I should care and be all excited, please tell me why!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m pondering now . . . thinking \u2013 thinking \u2013 thinking . . . of reasons why I should be interested . . . Ah ha!!!\u00a0\u00a0I got a reason\u2026<\/p>\n

At\u00a0her grandson\u2019s wedding, do you think Queen Elizabeth will be carrying one of those ridiculous skinny, but obnoxiously large purses she always totes around with her?\u00a0 I wonder what could possibly fit in her purse other than 25 sheets of typing paper?\u00a0 The attention she pays to her purse, don\u2019t you think it\u2019s a bit on the creepy side?\u00a0 Makes we wonder \u2026<\/p>\n

Say, can I ask you to click “Like” up at the top of this column? Thanks!
