Gosh It Is Quiet In Here

 There just hasn't been a lot from really either of them together or individually lately, has there? But why? Have they blown all their bridges, connections and are down to toss the proverbial kitchen sink for attention? I don't know.  We've heard that moving vans showed up at the house.  And nothing more like pictures from a neighbor happy to see the back of them. We've heard they bought a house on Portugal.   But the wording was kind of funny.  Multiple sources of the same thing - yes but that isn't a guarantee of proof as it could all be from the same source.  It was more along the lines of "We've been told that...".  It came off as a we really don't know if we believe this to be true or not so we are putting it out there but hedging our bets.  Or at least it did to me. And nothing more like exactly when, where or for how much or when they might visit it again.  Or pictures of the awesome inside.  Or outside.  Or requisite photo of the back of

As Time Passes and We Get Older

Could there be a Return?

Richard Eden had an article with the headline of how TO is "'running out of time' to rejoin Royal Family because William will be 'reluctant' to give his brother a role when he becomes King" I thought: say what?  " reluctant "?  a "Hell No!" sounds more realistic. Reluctant makes it sound like it is within the realm of possibility to still work things out between the two brothers.  All the periodic chatter of extending olive branches periodically plays into that, doesn't it?

I don't think so ( but I could be wrong - even really wrong - please don't ask about how wrong I've been about some stock d
