Christopher Columbus: His Gastronomic Persona
"What did the eighty-eight sailors of the Niña, Pinta and Santa Maria eat and drink? How was it stored? How did they cook it? These are the questions answered by this unique site created by an Italian winemaker "afflicted by Columbus quincentennial fever." This particular page addresses Columbus’ first and second Atlantic voyages. The balance of the site covers Columbus’ entire life, and the gastronomic legacy created by his hemisphere-crossing explorations."

Celebrating Father’s Day at the Holiday Zone
"How is your father’s life different from his father’s? His grandfather’s? Your’s? This thoughtful Father’s Day site is quite different from most because of its focus on ideas -- rather than projects. It starts with Discussion Topics suitable for classroom or dinner table, and includes suggestions for outdoor family games (Father, May I?) and classroom activities for elementary students. Fun stuff includes special songs for Dad sung to familiar tunes, and famous quotes on fatherhood."
