Romance is Where You Find it

What in the world might Sarah Palin have to do with romance? You know Sarah, right? John McCain selected her as his running mate for the upcoming presidential election.

Okay, we have the background out of the way. What's romantic about Sarah? Leave it to me to make the connection. And it's a doozey of a connection.

But first, let's eliminate some possibilities.

• She isn't romantic because she's the Governor of Alaska.
• She isn't romantic because she's been married twenrt years and has five children.
• She isn't romantic because she played hig school basketball.
• She isn't romantic because she worked beiefly as a newscaster.
• She isn't romantic because she was Second Runner Up for Miss Alaska
  
• She isn't even romantic because she's a stunner.
  

No, boys and girls, she is romantic because she is--ta da--photogenic. And you all know what that means. The camera is very kind to her.

That means she'd make a heck of a good model.

She would especially make a top model for the covers of romance novels.

See, I told you my mind works in innovative ways. I see connections where no man or woman has gone before.

We need more originality like this in the world of romance. If we put out minds to it, we can find romantic connections in just about anything.

Well, I will admit it's kinda hard to grasp the romantic connection between a modern East Coast, upper-class, long-legged, lanky Fifth Avenue blond and a cowboy just in from the range after a day of socializing with cows and horses and their--shell we say--natural emanations and residues.

The theme of love between a cowboy and a cowgirl enused to the natural aromas of ranch life is perfectly understandable. But a snooty Park Avenue lady? Well, that bears thinking about.

Okey, dokey. Any crazy romance connections you want to share?
