The championship game was 25-5. I’m really proud of the guys (and the sales and admin gals who were there cheering and taking photos).

They say that it was “made in Italy”; I’m pretty sure it’s a Forno Bravo Artigiano (it is made in Italy) — though I’m not 100% certain. We do have a Stanley Tucci as a customer, but who know if it’s the same Stanley Tucci. The oven looks very nice, and I’m a big Stanley Tucci fan.... Read More

Sep 01, 2012If you enjoy the TED Talks, I think you would also enjoy BBC and the British Museum’s History of the World in 100 Objects.
