Jeez, really? What a bummer! I'm with you -- a man in a tuxedo makes
my heart beat a little faster (especially if he's mine and he's done it
for me). Bob's (humorous, right, Row-behr-to?) remark called to mind
a comment that my former nephew-in-law made after my daughter's wedding.
The wedding was at a private club and a few of the guests wore blue
jeans. Carl's comment was this, "Your daughter wears an ivory dress for
her wedding day and those people wore blue jeans?" Now, please, let me
be perfectly clear that I didn't really give a rip about what guests
wore as long as it was reasonably clean, ok? There was just something
in the way he said it -- "an ivory dress on her wedding day" -- that
imbedded the remark in my head. I expect that Pastorio will get the
monkey suit out of the closet for the occasion, especially since the
youngest light in his life is going to be all gussied up and gawd knows
he won't want to embarrass her. "-)
