The Rather Short and Nearly Silent Edition of the de Vere’s Irish Pub Pub Quiz Newsletter

Trees

 

Dear Friends of the Pub Quiz,

My favorite quotation by the spiritual teacher Ram Dass is about silence: “The quieter you become, the more you can hear.”

I have more to say about that, but my assistant has just arrived at the office, and we have some work to get done.

Tonight’s Pub Quiz will feature questions about my trip to the movies yesterday, as well as the following: best men, gruesome endings, tropical Christmasses, street names, population growths, awards for the laziest snobs, managers, moments of joy, people named Daniel, a step up from cells, poster boys, leaders of the shadow people, claimed islands,  remaining records, life extensions, Pulitzer Prizes for Editorial Writing, Sacramento neighborhoods, absent women, biopics, decades, topics that twinkle with soul, hit dances, entertainment in 1929, celebrity takes, Japanese labor, U.S. presidents, the pleasures of walking, things to do in and away from Pocatello, American rock bands, early states, rude robots, American women, and Shakespeare.

I hope you will join us this evening for the Pub Quiz! We always have more fun when you are there.
