Here's a little addition you your Casablanca fact.

Yesterday, the Red Sox hired a new Gerneral Manager. He is 28 year old Theo Epstien. Theo's paternal grandfather, Phillip and his twin brither, Julius, wrote the script for Casablanca some 60 years ago.

Casablanca was such a good movie. I feel in love with Bogey in that movie. I even named a dog I once had Bogey because of him.

Very interesting today, Deb. A mixture of happy (Casablanca) and sad (Warsaw ghetto).

Thanks for doing this

Which, strangely enough, predates the production of the first Budweiser by 51 years.......suggesting at least the direction of the cause-effect relationship.
