Stephen:
You were wonderful!

Wish I'd had been there to hear it. As moving and eloquent as I've come to expect.
QuoteFor over a thousand years...
...Roman conquerors
returning from the wars...
...enjoyed the honor of a triumph,
a tumultuous parade.
In the procession came trumpeters
and musicians and strange animals...
...from the conquered territories...
... together with carts laden with
treasure and captured armaments.
The conqueror rode
in a triumphal chariot...
... the dazed prisoners
walking in chains before him.
Sometimes, his children,
robed in white...
...stood with him in the chariot,
or rode the trace horses.
A slave stood behind the conqueror...
...holding a golden crown...
...and whispering in his ear
a warning...
... that all glory...
...is fleeting.
...so it is JACKSONVILLE
...so it is...
