When we started several years ago, our goal was to explore Silicon Valley (aka "The Valley of Heart's Delight"), in part to show people there was more to the Bay Area than San Francisco.  Now we've visited just about every local museum from Gilroy to Santa Cruz to Millbrae, so we tend to journey farther afield for cultural/historical walks and day trips.  Our events include mundane after-work "well, it's better than just sitting on the couch" walks in local neighborhoods as well as more ambitiou …

From Sergio Leone to Sergio Corbucci to Enzo Barboni; from Clint Eastwood to Lee Van Cleef to Klaus Kinski and hundreds of Italian unknown actors; these movies are endless fun. Once a month Gun Slingers get together to sha …

This is possibly the most important decision you will ever make, but most folks make an emotional decision on impulse. If they are happy, that's fine, but if they are miserable and stuck, it isn't.
