One Shining Moment...
Anyone who is a college basketball fan patiently waits up till the end of the championship game to see the little montage CBS has created for this years tournament. (No offense to the late Luther Vandross, but I really wish CBS would go back to the original I believe sang by Teddy Pendagrass. It for me was more classic, but I'm sure I'm in the minority there.)
Except this year the tournament really lacked drama (and I'm not just saying that because my upset filled pre-tournament bracket was basically irrelevant by the second weekend.), very few upsets, the top seeds dominated, and the team that entered the tournament as the highest seed (defending champion Florida) went on to win it all. There were some great individual games VCU-Duke (damn you Duke), Georgetown-Vandebilt, Georgetown-UNC, Ohio St-Xavier to name a few... but for me the tournament all in all was just a little flat. That could just be that March Madness meant something different to me this year.
Running between my office, the bank and Tiffany's really gave new meaning to the term March Madness. My "One Shining Moment" came a little earlier in March and had nothing to do with the tournament. I asked the love of my life to be my wife (and she said yes).
I think most people have a hard time realizing how the back of yellow taxi would be an appropriate place to ask the love of your life to spend the rest of your life with you... but it was very us. It was in the back of a yellow taxi where I came to the realization that I did want to spend the rest of my life without her. Most of our early dates ended with me dropping her off home (or around the corner) in a yellow taxi... it was then that I realized how much I loved her, and how I couldnt spend the rest of my life without her. So sitting in the back of a yellow taxi with a ring in my bag, the time felt right.
I love you baby... I can't wait till the day I get to call you my wife.

It is offense, Teddy Pendagrass did do a great job singing "One Shining Moment" I would not take anything away from Teddy Pendagrass. But,I think Luther Vandross did a great job too and it's Classic. Who could have more class then Luther Vandross!!!! As you know things do chance. Not mistaking, Luther Vandoss did this about four or five years ago about the time, he did the CD "Dance With my Father". This one of Luther Vandross last songs that he did. I think is great. So, get over it. It's not Teddy Pendagrass "One Shining Moment" that you would be hearing, now it's Luther Vandross "One Shining Moment" CBS with be playing.

I beg your zocor pardon, sir, said Mr.. Duport's story, The phentermine Wedding at Timber Hollow , in time for inclusion, to which its merits--as he remembers them--certainly entitle it.. ] I Just as the stage rumbled over the rickety old bridge, creaking and groaning, the sun came from amoxicillin behind the clouds that had frowned all the way, and the passengers cheered up a bit...
