TODAY IS

Exactly 10 months away from Christmas Eve, right?

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. turns the big 4-0 today. What do you get for someone who has already bought it for himself twice?

Billy Zane turns 51 today, forever to be remembered as the jerk from Titanic. Just watch the movie until you see a jerk -- that's him. He was Rose's boyfriend in "Titanic" before Leonardo stole her away.

Debra Jo Rupp turns 66 today. The name may not mean anything to you, but if I say Eric's mom from "That 70s Show?" Oh, who could forget her laugh? Just curious... I'm still trying to.

Steve Jobs would have turned 62 today. He was one of the co-founders of Apple and gave us the Mac. No, not Mac & cheese. Speaking of, macaroni and cheese is considered the ultimate comfort food. Some high points since it hit our shores from Women's Day:

  • 1802 - Having fallen for the dish in Europe, Thomas Jefferson begins serving it at the White House and America follows.
  • 1937 - Kraft launches what will one day be known as 'Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.'
  • 1993 - A contest result in a new Crayola color; 'Macaroni and Cheese.' Kids start coloring everything orange.
  • 2006 - S'MAC, the first restaurant devoted to the dish, opens in New York City. All mac and cheese, all the time.
