| Interests | Garden design and drumming are my passions, but the Moroccan stew I'm fixing tonight runs a close 3rd. You can check out my band, King Bee at kingbeesb.com for another side of my life. |

How do you pronounce the 'g' in bologna?
I pronounce it "Three" as in "Ba-lo-three-knee". Did you know that English is such a bizarre language that GHOTI can be pronounced "FISH"? "GH" as in "enough"; "O" as in "women" and "TI" as in "partial." It's all a bunch o' baloney to me.
