I shouldn't be surprised at the hoopla over Jessica McClure's wedding this weekend in Midland. After all, pretty much the entire nation tuned in to see Baby Jessica rescued from that well eighteen years ago. It was a great story with a great ending, although subsequent chapters weren't so happy.

Anyway, for lack of anything interesting to post (don't say it) I thought I'd let you in on a little secret: Baby Jessica's mom is Abbye's groomer. Well, actually, she owns the grooming business; I don't think she does much of the regular hands-on work herself. And, of course, she's a big Abbye fan.

And, for the record, I've never asked her anything about the event that thrust her into the world's spotlight, nor about her daughter, whom I hope has a long, happy and relatively uneventful marriage.

Hey, I can't help it if celebrities are drawn to my natural charisma, scintillating personality and ability to pay cash.

John, I'm not surprised, considering that CNN Headline News ran a story about the wedding at least twice an hour throughout the day yesterday. There's still a lot of fascination with her story.
