...happened at the FAIR website.

I'm not sure why I never noticed this word before. I've read a good number of books up until the point at which I entered the FAIR site. I guess I hadn't yet read the steamy ones.

Anyway, it's kind of humorous that I learned something naughty over there at the ripe age of 35.

Please reference the FAIR article discussing Joseph Smith's love letter to Sarah.

You're becoming more erudite. Btw, "tryst" isn't necessarily "steamy" or "naughty". For example, in LOTR:FOTR (book):

"But such a thing has not happened before, that Gandalf broke tryst and did not come when he promised."
