Bells, Wedding

If you're like me, you've already got your jammies on and have swallowed a handful of Ambien so you can get to sleep early and be wide awake for the big Royal Wedding® tomorrow at something like 4:00 AM, Kansas City time.

Wait, I meant to say if you're like me, you care feck-all about the Royal Wedding® and will be happily and soundly sleeping through it. But even if you are like me, it's impossible to avoid the media frenzy surrounding this event. But we do see Celtic footprints on Kate's white train.

For example, in today's paper I noticed that the official flower arranger is one Shane Connolly which would be a great name for an Irish middleweight boxer or Gaelic football player if he wasn't, you know, a florist. And I read that while some 5500 street parties are planned across England and permits for 800 street closures for those parties have been filed, not a single street party request has been filed in the great nation of Scotland. God love the Scots. I wonder how they'll be celebrating in Clonakilty and Tuam?
