I’m certain the ceremony will be grand with all the normal pomp and circumstance associated with an event of this nature. If there are any concerns with the bottle breaking (champagne or otherwise) ….no offense to Lady Camilla. I’m sure John would be happy to blow a bottle that is sure to shatter and splinter into a gajillion pieces. He has shown some innate ability creating delicate works of glass with his recent familiarization trip.

Really? The man in the rubber suit is not you? Gee, it kind of resembled you; I thought it was you looking rough and tough from all the dieting.

Seriously–loved the videos in the last post, and I do think your face looked a bit thinner, and your collar looser……BTW, tell Heidi the bit she filmed with the “open fly” was priceless!

Thanks for the update on the Godmother ceremony. I’m glad to see such respect for our allies armed forces as well as our own

Reading your snippet about a weeked trainging drill brought back all sorts of acronyms I’ve heard while growing up and later serving in the military (I’ll let you figure them out/research them ):

BOHICA

I’ll leave you with one a friend of mine just reminded me about, since it seems to pertain to your relationship with your Dell Lap Top Dancer…
