“The correspondent’s dinner was a thoroughly medieval spectacle. Never was a lord’s hall so earnestly thronged by grateful peasants as that venue. The comparison was nearly exact since it featured jesters, court ladies and the obligatory men-at-arms hovering outside the drawbridge of the castle. Royalty was of course in attendance, resplendent in its dazzling gowns and chic elegance. The designated buffoon of the evening was Kathleen Sebelius who was employed as a sight-gag as an obligatory adjunct to something broken as if she could absorb for herself the sins of the King.”

It’s one of my favorite shows (the endings when they say the blessing around a table was what first sold me). The only problem is they show several hours of them 2 or 3 times each week, and I’ve seen them all at least twice. Tonight, they had the hour show of when Mia, Jase’s daughter (I misspelled it before)had her 5th surgery to repair a clef pallet (hope that’s all spelled correctly). When asked what she wanted, she said she wanted a family get-together. On just days notice, family came from all over including Florida. It was a touching show.
