I have to challenge you on one of these. 😁

Question 1 is, "How old must a person be to run for President of the United States?"

Thank you so much for sharing the Marvin anthem!

I raised my kids on good music - my younger daughter's favorite "record" is Songs in the Key of Life (and she's 21), but I showed both of them this years ago and they both clutched their hearts!

Keep it up, my friend.
