It caused great consternation in the crowd, and he got all flustered and said, "No, no, she's still alive!" and tried to go on with his speech, but you just know everyone in the audience was busy thinking, "Hmm, wonder what's going on there?"What Now?https://www.blogger.com/profile/04017629066466055668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-8035254661767878612008-10-18T22:31:00.000-04:002008-10-18T22:31:00.000-04:00I kept referring to my wedding as my upcoming reci...I kept referring to my wedding as my upcoming recital!

But it's not white, it's not long, it's not froofy--and it cost 20% of what my doctoral robes did--so my regalia probably remains the most expensive and conventional ceremonial attire I'll ever don.Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-19718301340994325782008-10-18T16:24:00.000-04:002008-10-18T16:24:00.000-04:00I love it.
