DebInAustin says Jun 18, 2008 02:10PM oddly, the gym where I work out is named Forza. Unfortunately the word is lost on many Denverites, so I think it is making marketing tough.
frankmartin says Jun 18, 2008 02:15PM yeah, people are conditioned to Italian being only on the names of restaurants.
Connie wishes Jun 18, 2008 02:17PM she remembered something from 4 semesters of Italian at university. But haven't used it over 3 decades.
frankmartin says Jun 18, 2008 02:21PM connie - I do love the language, and the country, and the people, SO much. Oh yeah. The food and wine too!
Connie says Jun 18, 2008 02:25PM ditto to all of the above, frankmartin. I have visited Italy only once, many may years ago, but I loved it. Hope to go back some day.
