"Viticulture" is the growing of grapes.

Q5: Only reason I know this is a relative inherited a Patek Phillipe from father who got it in France after serving in WWII. Even though relative is rich, they found getting it fixed so expensive they eventually sold it. Now wish they'd kept it.


Q6: Pretty sure isn't Pac-Man, but otherwise ATA & hope.


Q8: No idea. Think Potter as a musical is a bad idea, but think lots of musicals these days are bad ideas even after they're made into musicals. And I love musicals, good ones, too. JTQ


Q9: Only dimples are logical, which doesn't necessarily count for much on BAM.
