Confession: I am a confirmed, committed, card-carrying anglophile.

It probably comes from immersion in the books of British authors and poets -- such as the Brontës and the Brownings, among many others -- and also being a fervent cinephile, from childhood to the present day.

I have for many years been particularly fond of Queen Elizabeth II. In fact I believe that I love her.

Notice I did not put that in the past tense, although yesterday she passed into history.

I will always love her.

How can you not love someone who (I heard) ate a jam sandwich every day of her life?

And went around encrusted in fabulous jewels, and made it look like just another day that ends in y?

Also, I am directly descended from denizens of the United Kingdom, going all the way back as far as you're willing to go.

Roots.

At any rate, I will miss Queen Elizabeth the Second. I will miss her every single day.

God bless the memory of a wise and gracious lady, the likes of whom the world will not see again.

And that is all for now.
