What's with the name of this Blog??

You may have been wondering about the reference to Rocket Science in the name of this blog. Well it is a reference to an old joke that started at the end of 2006when I needed another Craniotomy.A work colleague at the time, Kevin Ferfguson, and Gary were examining my MRI scans which showed that the tumour was in the shape of an inverted mushroom.Gary anf Kevin were kidding around and decided that if they sharpened up the edge of a teaspoon, then they could get in there and scoop out the tumour for me.

Once they had it out, they were goingdown to Coles to select a mushrooom of just the right size to plug up the hole. They were going to do a Craniotomy on the cheap!Afterall, they argued, it was only brain surgery, not rocket science!....We all had a good laugh at the time and so it seemed appropriate for Gary to referback to our old joke. It is certainly not meant to be de-valuing the skills of brain surgieons Michael Redmond and David Walker, who beteeen them, have keptme alive three times now! I just wanted to make that clear.
