In the morning, we grabbed coffee and tiara and prepared to be wowed by the wedding of Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew. But because I hadn't programmed the STUPID VCR correctly, what we got were two hours of Lassie reruns.
Our daughter wasn't bothered in the slightest, being a Lassie fan from way back. Later we would watch the wedding highlights on the news, but it wasn't nearly as captivating as watching one's very own video cassette of the event.
Fast forward (a little VCR humor there) to Saturday, when we became Comcast customers, throwing over Wide Open West for a better deal. And of course, I have no clue which of the 400 channels is which or, for that matter, how to tape anything.
Prince William and Kate are getting married this Friday.
Would someone please throw a tape in for me? Thanks.

I'm not watching. Didn't we have a revolution? I love that the US does not have an official "royal family". Sorry. I'm not buyng the tea towel.
FYI, Susie Q, there are no tapes anymore....the thingy just records whatever it is "digitally". Don't ask me how or where it goes, it just does. (Insert Twilight Zone music here).
Trying to locate my tiara.....
I didn't watch Diana and Charles; I was too busy with kids. I spent the following years shrugging off references to that wedding day. I obviously missed the part Lassie played that day.
So...I will watch, record and copy onto disc, for my favorite author, the hours and hours of the Royal Wedding.
I would prefer Lassie reruns. I do hope your new cable service includes a DVR and that between now and then Charlie figures out how to program it for you. :-)
hahaha that lassie pic that you snuck in there made me laugh out loud! too funny...
