How do you call the study of historic weather patterns? I heard it on National Georaphic when they did a show about Hurricane Ivan, but I couldn't remember what it was (long words elude me before I have a chance to write them, although naturally it ended with "logy").

Ah yes, that's it. Thanks. I remember they say it (the study) uses evidence found in glacial deposits, fossils, and sediments; and thus confirms the definition.

Ouff, I just heard another three outlandish terms on national geographic... I can't remember them... too long... head...hurts...brain...congealing...

I think I'll just...

Professional wrestling is good. Very few technical terms there, once you have mastered the names for the various moves and holds and smashes.

My goofy and interesting daughter is a huge fan of professional wrestling. She sent me a photograph of herself taken with King Kong Bundy! I don't watch the stuff of my own volition but I'll admit to having attended a few matches with my daughter.

As the TNA Wrestling broadcast comes after a serial I'm watching, I can't help but see the TV station's promotions of it. I've often wondered who watches it, but I would never have taken the onlookers for men of the cloth and their daughters.
