I
had someone call me on the fact that some of the words I use aren't
always in common usage so I thought I would start a definitions list.
Given how busy this last weekend has been and my upcoming surgery
this seemed right up my alley for something I could do during the 6
hours or so of riding in a car I had over the last weekend. If you
see any errors in this list or have things you think should be added,
let me know! I am always up for corrections and comments.
