So what do you want to talk about?

Oh look, it's raining (again)! Maybe I can cancel all my patients...

I caught so much flak from my blog yesterday, I figure I'll try for a do-over. When there is no ACDC football to report, I can talk about football around the world. In fact, that is one of my favorite topics. But I refuse to believe that you are all that narrow-minded. You're not just dumb jocks who can't talk about anything else, right? You are curious about the world around you? You read, right?

So, what's wrong with me talking about the weather, NFL history and the rough seas in the English channel?

Tell you what, you can choose. Here are some of the non-football topics I feel comfortable writing about. Please vote by posting a comment what you think is best to discuss, when there is no ACDC football to report:

1) History of the "revolutionary" period, US, circa 1773-1790

2) 19th century Italian opera

3) Wine...any kind....you pick

4) Battles of the civil war 1861-1865, especially Gettysburg and Antietam

5) Best restaurants in Western Europe

6) Neurosurgical anatomy of the skull base, including cavernous sinus, regions of the clivus, and infratemporal fossa

Having said "non-football," this is actually a monumental week in football across Europe. I have huge personal stakes in it as well, as I have been offered a seat at midfield 20 rows in, in Rome for the CL final, and possibly at Wembley as well for the FA final....if the Gunners make it that far.

So, what topic is it going to be?

    Hilarious. Obviously I would pick topic #5. Skull base anatomy, with emphasis on the cavernous sinus. LOL

    1) Can talk about the Great Tea-Bagging Party in the Boston Harbour?

    2) 19th Century Italian Opera. My personal comments are that La Boheme is far and away the most beautiful

    3) Wine, any kind, you pick.
    Let's talk about wine that comes in a 5-liter box...that's right....Franzia! WooHoo. I'll let you rant about that or rant about Boone's Farm, another wonderful wine.

    4) Whisper sweet Breechloading Rifles and Smoothbore Muskets into my ear.

    5) I vote to try them all in person with ACDC

    6) I've no idea what to say on this one.

    Wine and (North) American Revolutionary history...Good Ol' Gen. George Washigton actually used the bad weather in the winter of 1776 to turn the war around i.e. crossing the Delaware to attacke the Hessians...so in some occasions bad weather can get it done!!
