Thanks Julie for this follow up on the wedding dance video from last week at the end of Greg and Jen's NYC pictures.
YouTube - JK Wedding Entrance Dance
Thanx Peter!!!
Although I hate to burst everyone’s bubble but it was not a real deal.
They have a video on YouTube called JK divorce.
It’s the same people doing it in a courtroom.
I had no clue until I showed it to Raf tonight and he showed me the other video.
They did it just to do it. I was so surprised.
It was a great idea.
It’s amazing how so many people don’t know it was a joke.
ill send you the link for the other video.
Julie
Here is the link of the divorce one.

Where they say at the end it was a joke.
They have a site made up for donations to make money for a cause off of the whole joke idea.
It’s crazy.
But I still love the idea.
It looked like fun,
Julie

Gratitude for
the splendid selection of photos taken on your visit to NYC,
including highlights such as the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Central
Park. What an excellent experience for the children and the adults
who had this wonderful historic exposure ! The photos with Mary and
her creative hat standing next to Emmy Award winning actress Polly
Bergen is a treasure ! Thank you for sharing !
Thank you, too, for including the history of Vincenzo
.... . .
remarkable that 2009 represents a century of family
presence
in the USA. Peter John, Jr. you are the very first arrival of the
third generation; your Dad the first of the second. Christopher
... the first of the fourth !
It has been a very busy week for me . . . with laboratory appts
and doctor visits. I am praying God will help me to live with the
findings of pulmonary hypertension. I am told there is no cure.
Blessings and tender regards to you and each of your loved
ones.
Prayers and Love,
Auntie Rose
In the news this week was an article on the role disease played in defeating Napoleon's army.
It reminded me of my favorite graphic, perhaps prior to Best emails:
He started out in 1812 with 600,000 soldiers, and returned with 10,000.
Napoleonic Literature
Losses Suffered by the Grande Armée
during the Russian Campaign
On more history and calamity, from the 1934 Chicago Tribune, (with a special shout out to my alma mater.)
In the classic Milton Bradley/Hasbro game of skill, players take turns removing a wooden block from a tower of such blocks and balancing it on top, creating a "higher and increasingly unstable structure as the game progresses." The game ends when the tower falls in any way, with the loser being the one who made it happen.
Arguably, the commercial real estate market is a bit like a teetering Jenga tower, with blocks of leverage wobbling precariously atop the gaping holes where equity used to be. Unfortunately, as the structure comes crashing down, the losers won't just be those who set the collapse in motion.
I liked the other article that said:
"The Commercial Real Estate bubble has not yet burst, but the needle is currently being injected."
A
German firm called Style Your Garage creates posters for garage doors that make
it look as if your garage is where the action is. Made
for the up-and-over garage doors common in Europe, they mount with velcro and
can be adapted to fit sectional garage doors. If
you've got a two-car garage, no worries they can make posters that will span
both doors. Prices range from €199 to €399 for the double-door and the company
can also turn a photo of yours into a garage poster, but you'll want to be
careful with this, not everything can be blown up to 6.5 feet without looking
weird!!.
What you see in the picture is what the whole poster looks like :
