Who was I...I thought they were already past tense. Who was I thinking of then?<br /><br />Back in ... 1980? '81? (I'm sure somebody can tell me.) When Prince Charles and Lady Diana were tying the knot on international television my wife at the time was glued to the news of the impending royal nuptials. And when she finally said "Charles and Diana are getting married today" I thought she was talking about one of her soaps. When I got the "you've-just-grown-a-third-eye" look for that question, I dug the hole deeper by asking "Oh, is this someone you know then?"<br /><br />"The <i>royal wedding</i>??"<br /><br />"Oh. That. Yeah. Okay, enjoy. I gotta go to work."<br /><br />This of course solidified for her that romance in the world -- and more to the point our apartment -- was indeed dead.<br /><br />The irony of which, in retrospect, makes me laugh my butt off.Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-56761244521159260522010-01-24T15:20:33.320-05:002010-01-24T15:20:33.320-05:00I heard it here first!

We don't have money - in fact, we struggle most months to make ends meet. But we understand love, commitment, the importance of heart and mind over the sales value of flesh on film. The real challenge is to bring our children up to recognize what is real and distinguish it from the fantasy of film, photo, fashion and celebrity worship. I hope the relationship that me and my husband work hard to grow and nurture and protect will speak volumes to our daughter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-77556164387686637272010-01-24T01:36:23.108-05:002010-01-24T01:36:23.108-05:00The people who give so much importance to the live...The people who give so much importance to the lives of celebrities have little in their heads with which to occupy their thoughts.kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-13325243475792913352010-01-24T00:29:52.403-05:002010-01-24T00:29:52.403-05:00Why do we care about the glamorous life of celebri...Why do we care about the glamorous life of celebrities?
