I just think that a couple with that many years difference in age (me-45 in October) has a hard time finding common ground. Never mind things like the initial shuttle flights, I remember Apollo 11, Watergate, "The Energy Crisis." I know all the words to bunches of songs from the 60s and 70s, and I didn't learn them from the oldies station. There are a lot of things more important (like, say, fidelity), but experiences and memories are the tapestry of our lives. Recognizing how we both felt pride in the US Olympic Gold Hockey team even though we didn't know each other then could contribute to a sense of connection between me and someone my age.
I'm not sure we're stereotypical, but we sure are hypothetical, and hijacking Gabriel's thread to do it!
Thanks,
