Hey confessor

Last night, I read the part in Prisoner of Trebekistan where Bob Harris praised your trivia acumen. I can similarly attest to your superior knowledge and recall.

Every so often as I exit the building at work, I still kick myself that we couldn't think of "revolving door."

Thanks, Cal. You're clearly sharper than I am, since I can't even recall what the question was that you're still kicking yourself about. I still go back to Mother Egan's most weeks for the Tuesday pub quiz, and it typically draws 40+ teams and probably 250+ people. I plan to stop by today for their St. Patrick's Day festivities.

Bob Harris wrote another book called "Who Hates Whom," an overview of all the mini-wars around the world that don't get a lot of press, but still kill a lot of people. I got to spend a few days with Bob in Northern Ireland last fall, which was quite educational and much fun. Recently he's been spending a lot of time in South America and Mexico.

neither of us could come up with the building feature designed as a way to keep cold air out in some specific year.

The only other question I remember from that evening was the one I knew that you didn't (as opposed to the approximately twenty you knew that I didn't).
