We spent three weeks in Italy in summer 2005. Ours was a small-town Italy trip, so I don't have any knowledge of the major cities. The only big city we planned to visit (besides Milan, where we flew...

Re: Famous alumni from your high school?

Merrilee Rush, (modestly) famous for the late '60s hit "Angel of the Morning."

My high school was only open for about 30 years (1955-1987).

Re: Pub trivia quiz night (and rogue brews!!!!)

Fiji, you gotta get down to Finger Lakes Bev -- they've got about a dozen Rogue brews.

I was just at Rogue (in SF, right, El D?) on Tuesday. I dig Brutal Bitter and Shakespeare the most.

Duel -- early Spielberg film (possibly even made-for-TV) in which Dennis Weaver gets chased around and tormented by an unseen tanker truck driver. I was terrified of trucks for some time afterward.
