UVSC Session Report Monday, November 11, 2019 (Session #252) (authored by BJ) Well it seems that several people remembered that I recently had a birthday; furthermore, they conspired to surprise me with amazing food, singing, dessert, general merriment, and high quality wordplay! Bingos were flying as Margaret found STRANGE, which we learned is also a noun (meaning that STRANGES is also valid); Iliana found EQUANTS# at a critical point while making a big comeback (an EQUANT# is a geometric adjustment to explain planetary motion); Ellen found CHARNEL, which has a morbid definition (it is a room where corpses are placed); Marilyn found STOVING and got 5 extra points for it after I challenged (to STOVE means to dry in a stove); and I was pleased to come up with AKINESIA (a loss of voluntary movement). Thanks all for a really fun and special evening!
