What movie did you see way too young?
When I was 10, CBS first aired ‘The Exorcist’ on TV. The baby sitter didn’t want to miss it and kept me up to watch.

15 yrs ago today I challenged Paul Volcker to a turkey cook-off and got my hat handed to me.
He never revealed the secret but said it involved port. So I always add a little to the gravy today to pay respect to his game.
