a finial example to us all...

for all of this season's couples... in particular, M+S, T+J, D+D, and L+A. well done all of you, you're certainly doing better than these guys. maybe it's got something to do with this old thing.

still looking forward to S+S later this year, and of course Ch+S coming up sometime soon too!

oh yes, and a finial in architecture is a decorative knobby thing on a balustrade, or detailed ridge cap on a roof. it's also what you call the twizzly bits at the end of curtain rods, and the flourish at the end of a calligraphic stroke! neat, eh?
