My efforts to get Poltergeist played in a loop on some basic cable network throughout the Labor Day weekend seemingly thwarted (alas), I must now make do with some other activity for the duration of this traditional closing weekend of summer. Yes, summer goes until 9/22, but you know what I mean.
If you chance to be driving somewhere this weekend, watch out for cats AND here is a fun game to play. Think of a news event, real or imagined, or some other type of story/profile that would be good fodder for 60 Minutes, then try to get your travel mates to guess which 60 Minutes stalwart would "do" the story.
FOUR EXAMPLES:
1. Suppose that the all of the gals from the famous Mia Hamm/Brandi (sp?) Chastain soccer team of years ago were actually pumped full of mad steroids at the time and now one of the lesser-known team members is spilling her guts?
Answer: Leslie Stahl
2. Profile of Ralph Lauren?
Answer: Steve Kroft [bonus if you can see the two of them in your mind's eye riding horses over a ridge]
3. Loose nukes in this world of Putin 2.0?
Answer: Kroft
4. A village in Spain that is home to a circus made up of blind children?
Answer: Morley Safer
Try it this holiday weekend! It's (yes) easy and fun! Beats the license plate game.
