Personally, I couldn’t care less about this “royal wedding.” Nevertheless, my Blog will have just this one article on it; not an entire series of articles as suggested by a friend. For those of you interested in the event, a complete schedule is provided. So… there is no excuse to miss one silly moment of this over-publicized spectacle. I’m sure it will be as exciting as watching paint dry… TGO
