I had a concert last weekend for which my 80+ year-old grandparents drove all the way from Tennessee. It was the first time they’ve ever seen me sing professionally, we had about two hundred people at the concert, and I sold 33 cds in one shot. It was really wonderful. To celebrate, we bought a pineapple upside down cake from a lady who lives in Chesterfield and ends every sentence with “Praise the Lord.” Bernie of Bernie’s Baked Goods. Best Cake Ever. Here’s a blurry picture:
Also, we are watching Jeeves and Wooster from the beginning. I encourage any ladies who already have a crush on the fabulously talented Mr. Laurie not to read his Wikipedia entry. He’s actually much better than you can possibly imagine. Breeding, intelligence, talent. It’s all there, girls. I tried so hard to hate the British and the French. I married an Indian, for crying out loud. Why, why does Western Europe still taunt me with it’s exceeding pretension and glorious way of life? Luckily, my husband has a snooty-sounding accent and a wonderful vocabulary. This helps to ease all these undesirable cravings I have (like being born into a life of leisure). He’s also handsome and “debonair.” All I need now is to cultivate a love for the Ballet, the Classics and sundry moldy cheeses. Whatever shall I do with my vast Archie Comics collection?

I have all the pretension of the aristocracy but none of the wealth. You’ve really hit the jackpot.

You can see Tim’s debonair posture in that picture.

Walk-in “Archie” Humidor! Howard Hughes had four of them!
