Dad served 4 years in the Marine Corps right out of high school. We miss him and his courage a lot these days, but especially on this Veterans Day

What movie did you see way too young? When I was 10, CBS first aired ‘The Exorcist’ on TV. The baby sitter didn’t want to miss it and kept me up to watch. It was less than an ideal choice.

In Milwaukee this week, we heard from Molson Coors about economic conditions and what's happening across supply chains. Conversations like this one help us understand the economy in real-time.

15 yrs ago today I challenged Paul Volcker to a turkey cook-off and got my hat handed to me. He never revealed the secret but said it involved port. So I always add a little to the gravy today to pay respect to his game.
