OK, I won that one, and the first try here will be for a description
of some kind of observance:<br>
<br>
GROUNATION DAY<br>
<br>
If you're familiar with it, let me know (and I won't be surprised),
otherwise think up a description of this day.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile...<br>
<br>
On the public radio show <u>Says You</u> a few weeks ago, one of
the "bluffing round" words was "sastruga". (This is a quick game of
fictionary within a panel quiz show.)<br>
<br>
and<br>
<br>
A coworker of mine mentioned that his two-year-old daughter was
having some medical issues with her foot. He described it, and I
offhandedly said, "Maybe it's pernio". The next day, he came back
with a report from his visit to the rheumatologist. After the
examination, the doctor was thinking, and my friend asked, "Could it
be pernio?", and the surprised physician said, "That's exactly what
it is!".<br>
