The Florida Panthers have won the Stanley Cup for two years back to back. Fun fact: for five outta the past six years, the NHL champs have hailed from either Florida or Las Vegas. Apparently hockey’s a warm weather sport these days?
Bob Vila was the original host of PBS’s This Old House.
Today’s Trivias
Trivia 1
Post This Old House, Bob Vila went on to produce a couple of teevee series to do with architectural history. One of them had Mr. Vila travelin to various villas in the Veneto region of Italia, “in search of” what 16th century Italian architect who’s maybe most famous for writin I quattro libri dell'architettura (Eng: The Four Books of Architecture)?
Trivia 2
Although Venice is the capital city of Italy’s Veneto region, it’s not actually the largest one! (City, that is.) THAT distinction belongs to what city of a quarter-million folks? If ya ever go to visit, make sure to check out all the historical buildins round the Piazza delle Erbe, and if ya can maybe try to catch an opera at the old Roman amphitheater near the Piazza Bra. Oh! And of COURSE ya gotta check out the Casa di Giulietta, that one’s a no-brainer there.
OK then
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
