Today's Question(s):

What was the last thing that had you saying "I wish I had written that down" ? There is a chapter in one of Benjamin Franklin's books, which I picked up at an antique show, about death. It puts the most comforting spin on dying I have ever read. I have not ever been able to find it again, but I wish I had written it down.

Bonus Question:

Which major event in History do you wish you had been able to witness in person ?
The signing of the Declaration of Independance

Extra Credit Question:

"Whatcha" doing this weekend ? I HOPE we will go to Forsythe Park where the SCAD students and others are doing the annual sidewalk chalk art competition. I hear it's fabulous. I KNOW we are going into our bathroom to paint and install a new terlit (that's how the guy in HD pronounced it LOL)

Just for Fun:

For those that watched the R. Wedding

What were some of the things stood out to you ?

I have only watched up to the part where Kate was about to walk down the aisle. I look forward to watching the rest tonight. I like how open the cars were and how good the pictures were. I like how we got to watch all the guests arriving and see what they were wearing (esp. the hats). I don't think Posh should have worn black, but she looked fabulous. I loved the simple elegance of the bride's and her sister's dresses. Tastefulness is so comforting.
I like how relaxed everyone appreared to be. Just like a regular warm family wedding, with just a bit more pomp. Just a very nice respite from the gloom in our lives.
