The Royal Splendor (or Must-See-TV!)

Nations on both side of the pond had been at a fever pitch in eager anticipation of the day.  In fact, people throughout the world watched.  It proved to be the once-in-a-generation spectacle that we have come to expect for events so special as this. 

In our little corner of the world, my wife and I had been anxiously awaiting this occasion for weeks.  Huddled by the “telly” in the dark, it did not disappoint.  We’ve been up all night watching the highlights again and again.  We were so struck by the pomp-and-circumstance of it all, but mostly the pomp.  (We’re suckers for pomp.)

Towards the end, tears were streaming down our cheeks.  He looked so handsome, so cool and collected.  When he strode down the corridor, and she followed—it was regal majesty.  We will always remember where we were when we saw it….Pam hugging Michael Scott goodbye.
