darn you're good
Richard you're very good! This reminds me of Wheel of Fortune, The Weakest Link, and Alex Trebek's game show----which I can't think of at the moment. You have a photographic memory, when reading the news, online, or other sources to celebrity background history.

Right on bro!
Smiley face,
Meri

pro and college football is underway---and NBA is
about to begin

Alex Trebek
Meri---don't you think Trebek's questions are
almost too difficult? I'll bet Alex couldn't
answer them himself!
