Yay, it's spring!
'Cuz we all talk about the weather when we want to connect with other humans - it's a universal. Everyone experiences weather and our opinions are never so fiercely or personally held (as in politics or religion) that differences of opinion can lead to fistfights or bloody wars.
Can you think of something else like that? I'm not challenging you, trying to declare that there's nothing else that is universal like talking about the weather - just wondering if anyone can think of a similar subject.
However, like seemingly every other glorious advent of spring I've enjoyed, I'm fighting off the final feeble clutches of winter - this time a stupid sinus thing that's been giving me fatigue and headaches for the last month or so. Every time I try to enjoy outside temperatures that don't immediately freeze the snot in my nose, I realize too late that it's not really that warm yet and I've given myself the sniffles yet again.
Nothing sucks quite so much as seeing the sunshine of a beautiful day (and being on a vacation day, to boot!) and not wanting to leave the couch.

For years without fail I suffered from the worst of all springtime colds, until my wife suggested perhaps I have allergies...hey presto!
I would suggest that beer was always safe conversation as the worst it would lead to in college was a "your beer's OK but mine's better" discussion that would then lead to drinking of all the available beer.
Then I witnessed your confrontation with ex-county executive John Collins. Was it Walter's or Schaeffer that made you to almost come to blows?
Walter's - and the only thing we were gonna come to blows about was that two-bit drunken hack refusing to acknowledge that other beers are brewed in Wisconsin besides Leinenkugel's.
