Getting old can be so dis-heartening. You memory-bank gets overloaded.

Just trying to remember - Didn't the President say, "If I had a son, he'd look just like Bishop"?.

Wait til you see what happened after that Jason. I cant say much but it involves someone lying to the police then recanting. Wasting the time of local police authorities..... More to come as the newscasters say.
