Enamored by It All

We are probably the only people in the world who have recently watched the royal wedding of Prince Andrew and Fergie. Lance has been loaning us his Sherlock Holmes videos. We have been enjoying them very much. Last night Kev, Meredith and I were in the mood to relax. Especially Meredith, after battling through her second day of the bar exam. I popped in the latest video I’d received from Lance. We expected to watch another episode of the great detective and Dr. Watson. Low and behold, the first item on the video was the royal wedding, taped from television, by Lance, in July of 1986. At that precise time in the history of the world, Kevin was eight, I was seven, and Meredith was six years old. So neither of us remembered seeing it. It was great! We laughed hysterics at the 80’s-style clothing and outdated fashion. We marveled at the royal decadence. And we were intrigued by the personalities on the screen - knowing their twisted and mysterious fates, before they had experienced them. We also speculated on who was the mastermind behind the Diana murder. We have it all figured out, by the way. ;) After the wedding, two reporters interviewed Fergie and Andrew. They seemed very much not in love. And also very different from each other. Kevin said, "Go figure. His name is ‘Andrew Albert Christian Edward’ and he goes by ‘Prince Andrew.’ Her name is ‘Sarah Margaret Ferguson,’ and she goes by ‘Fergie.’"

In honor of Merf, and my other law school friends taking the bar today, I post this true story received from my desk calendar: When her husband failed the bar exam, one California lawyer decided to come to his aid. She dressed up like a man and took the exam under her husband’s name. Unfortunately, the wife’s score was so much higher than her husband’s that it tipped off bar examiners. After discovering the fraud, the wife was disbarred and the couple divorced soon after. – Explaining the Inexplicable: The Rodent’s Guide to Lawyers
