8. I wish I had something other than an old VCR recording of Bill Clinton's speech at the 1995 Gridiron Dinner

He had everyone (even Gingrich!) in stitches and had the whole room eating out of his hand.

I could probably have it transferred to a CD if I could find a studio with the right tech, but Gridiron is off the record, and I would probably catch hell for putting it on the net. Suffice it to say that he had a masterful delivery. He seemed so young then, I can't wrap my head around the fact that he is now the oldest living former US president.

Trump is 2 months older, but is--I regret to say--not (yet, though one can still hope) "former."
