Really?! :D I could not imagine enogastronomy was that odd. It is the discipline of pairing, cooking and using wine in cooking. As for pogonotomy, it is what we all love here. It is from greek: pogon = beard, tomos = cutting, that is "shaving".

I have a more visceral connection to things and people around me vs having the learned means of expression.but I do love to hear or read others expressions and learn new things from it :o

Spent a few days in jail.

Judge gave me a choice of the Raleigh Penitentiary or the Marine Corps, I choose the Corps.

Retired, raising a good son & spending the weekdays assisting hockey & archery moms with chores around their houses.
