I will happily trade you Paris Hilton (and her entourage) for the new royal couple.

Me too- the Paris Hilton's, Charlie Sheen's, and the rest of our drug & alcohol and celebrity and attention addicted youth are no match for those two. They both completed college, he serves his country and they are seriously involved in charity work. They also demonstrated maturity in living together before marrying and really thinking about the fact that they will never have an ordinary life together. It seemed to me that they wanted very much to include the people of Britain on their special day.

My feeling about them is that they will accept their duty as part of the proud British traditions seriously. I don't envy having to live a life under so much scrutiny every breathing moment.

It made me feel good to see Britain have a day of celebration for their heritage and traditions. I enjoyed the multitude of British reporters- their pride and joy and information about their history and customs. I like British reserve anyway.

And you bet, from the numbers of people in London celebrating, some businesses that really have been going through hard times, had a good week.
