Our good old Queen Liz has been in the news a lot lately. It's the Golden Jubilee, don't you know. And then her baby sister Margaret died this past weekend. Sigh.

I got thinking about an obsession I used to have, something that started in the stands of a lawn-bowling match during the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria B.C. Liz attended the event that day, I guess wrestling was more Edward's thing. I looked at her across the stadium as she was digging into her purse...

Now what would a Queen keep in her purse? She wouldn't have car keys or a date book, as her minions take care of the driving and engagements. And goodness knows she's beyond her tampon years. Obsessed, I took a picture with my little pocket camera - damn, why didn't it have a telephoto lens! Nothing. Couldn't see a thing. I've been wondering all these years what she could possibly carry in her purse. This is my best guess:

• Sun glasses
• A baggie of liver treats for the royal corgis
• A hanky (the hired help will only go so far with royal hygiene)
• A wee flask filled with something smokey from Islay
• Tweezers
• A Gameboy Advance with 2 cartridges (Tetris and Bust-a-Move '99)

Thanks and good luck!
