Jeannine- Great Idea! Is that really happening??? I told you I never watched the news! This got me thinking that I actually could start watching it so we could talk about current events. it would really surprise him if I fired up a conversation like the one you proposed. A total 180. Yup, I think I will. Starting tonight whilst I am baking Xmas cookies with my D. He has poker tonight at his apt. They play every week on Thursdays at his place because he's the only one with a bachelor pad. They can all sit around smoking cigars without the wives yelling at them. He usually calls me after Poker-at my request. Should I not request that today??? Would that be a GOOD 180? Rachael
