"How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say."
After forty-eight years together,we ran out of topics.
Do you read to her every night just before sleep?
This week i am reading a science article about world building in science fiction, and how most of it is physically wrong. We are both learning lots about the inorganic carbon cycle,... Sometimes she is over in minutes, other times not. And then we review in the morning.
We are both science people, and hence observers. Got bald eagles nesting with kidletts, not a mile from our house, in the city. We go look at it. And the new Great Blue Herring rookery. Birds are her thing, but i go along for the ride.
“Running out of topics” is just a metaphor for some serious underlying problem.
I really love that song. Bonnie Raitt or John Prine?
Try going on an adventure with her new experiences always will give you something interesting to talk about
Running out of topics.... Brought me back to a great scene in "The count of Montecristo" when Richard Harris (preacher) popup in Jim Caveziel's cell and he is loosing his mind but somehow managed to tell preacher that he had been x days in captivity and had time to count each stone in the four walls twice (as in running out of topics) and then preacher response to such powerful argument was "I see but....have you name them yet??" (My take of that scene, it doesn't matter how desperate things may seem, there is always one more thing to do.... No such thing as running out of topics)
That's a great song.
John Prine wrote some good ones.
John Prine done a duet with Bonnie Raitt,Angel From MontgomerySam Stone ( Too mention but one) was my favourite.
