It'll be like "Montgomery Road: The College Years"

Except Legal Counsel won't be sleeping with Patrick Fabian*.

Let me just start off by saying that I love writing. A lot. So much so that if I thought I had any real talent and/or dedication I'd want to try to make a career of it. So understand that my lack of posts is not out of sheer laziness, but out of lack of time. And a little laziness. And Guitar Hero II. Damn you, Harmonix!

So I really do want to be writing on here, honest. But my life has kind of been consumed by medicine. I work most of the day, study for another good chunk, and (to be honest) I'd prefer to spend my remaining free time playing with Legal Counsel.

But even Legal Counsel has been pushing me to start writing again, so now I have to. But I have another issue: I never wanted Montgomery Road to become a "medical blog." This is my sanctuary from the world of medicine. My place to make obscure references, discuss zombie defense strategies, and insult D-Rock's overweight promiscuous mother.

What I'm getting at is this: I'm thinking of starting a new blog. A blog in which I can discuss medicine without feeling like it has metastasized to every facet of my life. It's a hollow gesture, I know, but just humour me. It'll still be my attempts at comedy, not a serious discussion of grown-up medical issues. Nobody wants that.

So I've got a small back log of material, ready to go. But I don't have a name! Everything I thought of was taken. So I'm asking you, my readers (if there are any of you left), to offer me suggestions of what I should call my spin-off/sequel blog. If I like your suggestion, I'll use it and send you a monthly bill for royalties**. Let the smart ass comments begin!

Although Montgomery Road: The College Years sounds pretty good... Too bad that would have to be a prequel.


* that reference was a little much, even for me. Must've been building up for a while.
** don't question it.
