BEHIND THE SCENES: Recently, one-half of your faithful co-hosting team decided that after four years in Southern California, she couldn't go another day without learning to surf. So she spent a weekend at surf camp, and ... well, let's just say the song "Wipeout!" has a whole new meaning for her. She spent most of her time tombstoning and pearling, these terms being examples of surfing slang translated here for landlubbers:

By the way, it seems that photographic evidence documenting this co-host's efforts at surf camp has surfaced, and just might be published on Facebook. But only if there's sufficient demand. :-) Cast your vote here:
