Fit For A Queen

As mentioned in a previous blog, Her Royal Highness, the Queen of England is coming to Virginia. Just in time for the reopening of the Commonwealth's capitol.

What? You didn't know that the Capitol has been closed for renovations for the past two years at the fine sounding tune of $104.5 million?

Well, we certainly wouldn't want Richmond looking a sham for the big 4-0-0 anniversary of Jamestown, now would we? Not with the Queen delivering a speech to a joint session of the General Assembly next Thursday, May 3rd, most certainly not.

Furthermore, discussions between her palace in London, the embassy in D.C. and the Governor Kaine's office are taking place to decide how best the visiting queen should acknowledge the event of last week at Virginia Tech.

I wonder if I can get her to sign my copy of "The Queen" - once I get past her security detail.
