I couldn't get anyone to play with me! Still, on very long drives, it's fun to have a passenger read the questions off the cards to me while I drive.Kurt Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114016986246591892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057482344224014823.post-43815661096980662132009-05-01T19:42:00.000-04:002009-05-01T19:42:00.000-04:00Russ, I need to totally agree---I HATE playing Tri...Russ, I need to totally agree---I HATE playing Trivia Pursuit with Kurt!!! <br />You're also right about conversation becoming a dying art, I think that I need to work on my conversational skills a bit better.

A conversation is the sharing of information not just one-person listening. When I find my self at a social gathering I am surprised at how many people will go so far as to answer a question but offer nothing further to the discussion. The last meaningful discussion I had with someone (Other than my wife and kids) was at a Hospital function with a Doctor I had just met. We worked together through the initial part of discussion to find a common ground. Turns out he attends the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church. We talked about the recent renovation, church history, etc. Like you Kurt I always enjoy a good conversation and have learned to value them when I find them.RussDaManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510932136152341753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057482344224014823.post-56652893397894292752009-04-30T14:14:00.000-04:002009-04-30T14:14:00.000-04:00I have to admit--I wonder how we even "hooked-up"?...I have to admit--I wonder how we even "hooked-up"? Everyone knows that I'm the conversationalist in our family; animai, science fiction..isn't something that I talk about either. Most of the time I don't even understand your blog--sorry babe!! I guess that you can say that we complement each other very well!! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
