Admittedly, I'm terrible (TERRIBLE) at thinking on my feet. I get totally sidetracked and emotional. In some ways, writing is so much better for me.
That said - we've had a few real conversations, both in person and on the phone. The most recent one was a couple of weeks ago...it started on the phone and moved to being in person.
We both cry when we talk to each other. We don't yell.
