A twenty-something young woman was looking for a donor to give her two tickets to the Super Bowl which at the time was taking place in Atlanta a few years back. In return for free advertising.

My Book Report.
Book Report When I first heard his voice on some late-night talk show, I thought he was some prissy sissy guy but somewhat cultured.
