My eyes are red and bleary because I got up at 4 a.m. to watch the royal wedding this morning. Well, not up exactly, but I did turn on the television and watch from the comfort of my bed. I was only going to turn it on for a moment. When I saw William and Harry arrive at Westminster Chapel I was hooked. And why do I get so hooked on this royalty stuff? I don't believe one person is better than any other. So why was I awake at 4 in the blessed morning? I think it's because I was there. In 2002 I walked through Westminster Abbey and St. James Park. I stood in front of Buckingham Palace on the Queen's 75th birthday. I saw her sitting in her carriage with her lime green coat, lime green hat, and holding her lime green purse. I saw that when the horses started to go, the Queen lost her balance and fell back hard on the back seat of her carriage. Also Diana and I had some things in common. We got married about the same time and had two children at about the same time. And thirdly, I think William and Harry have more to teach us about civilized behavior than their elders. And that is why my eyes are red and bleary.
