The Second Elizabethan Era has come to an end. Since I was born one year before it began, I consider myself a part of that period. I am not British. I have no British blood in me. None of my ancestors were British (although my grandmother always claimed that her surname, which was Randolph, came from a British relative), and I have never set foot on any of the British Isles or territories. But since we are in the midst of total globalization, it is safe to assume that we are all part of the same earth community.
Anyway, using this flimsy excuse, I celebrate the ending of an era and the beginning of the new Carolean, Windsor or whatever this era will be called.
