MSN:
Just watched CASABLANCA last night...AGAIN.
It's STILL a good flick!

Jimi Hendrix & I have the SAME middle name (Marshall).

My car cost $11 THOUSAND, not $11 HUNDRED (amazing what a mere forty or so years will DO).

And now you know some REALLY weird trivia...

Birthyears...can't live with 'em and can't live WITHOUT 'em, eh?

Have a great weekend.
