Dear Friends of the Pub Quiz,
I got to introduce the bike-commuting advocate Paul Dorn to my Silicon Valley Journalism students this morning, and thus was unavailable to compose thoughtful insights on important topics by my regular due date of 10:30 on a Monday morning. As a result, today’s newsletter contains mostly hints. Next week I may talk more about transportation concerns.
Tonight’s Pub Quiz will address the following topics: the ante-chambers of a queen, bad occupation choices, sports numbers that are divisible by three, industrial banks, realty stats, biopics and many other films, killer apps, Kali, invertebrates, light, African names, feeling free, spheres, moderately great Americans who appear in bad films, quickenings, sleep deprivation, characters named Julie, South America, Pacific rim films in which flowers are braided into the hair of lead actors, measurements, indirect Halloween, golden arrows, scary books, one-word titles, big films, October 27, food and “drink,” things mapped by Ptolemy, world capitals, the Cold War, Swedish culture, football, and Shakespeare.
Happy Halloween! Tonight, in celebration of the holiday, I shall wear black.
