A good restaurant in your city?
Casa Calabria--great Italian food!

A tie between my Bunn coffee maker and my Senseo coffee maker. (Are you sensing a pattern here?) The Bunn for when I need a full pot, the Senseo for when one cup will do.
One person who never fails to make you laugh?
My oldest daughter--she just cracks me up.
