Greetings Infomaniacs,
I have been fighting a horrible cold all weekend, so if you
don’t mind, I’m going to keep things short. Enjoy the trivia
while I enjoy a hot cup of tea!
Also, I have to wish a very happy birthday to my buddy Steve,
the editor of The Daily Groaner. He’s been a great friend for
many years and deserves only the best today and always…
Enjoy!
Melissa
