123. I knew it even before I looked!

Y'know, for all my socialist talk, I've always had a soft spot for Liz and Phil and the kids. I mean, they didn't choose to be born who they are or to be raised the way they were. I've always gotten the impression that Liz and Phil married because they loved each other; and I knew from the day of the wedding of the year 1981 that it was a mistake. (Chuck is exactly a month and a day younger than I, so we kinda have some common ground there, LOL.)

I'm not saying everything they've ever done is good or right or sensible or doesn't deserve a huge WTF! shout out, but I can think of worse people.

Happy Jubilee, Liz, honey! You're lookin' great! (Well, except for those bows. They're kinda tacky. Looks like they should've been replace a couple of jubilees ago.)
