you know that's patently not true. And I hope I didn't bore you over brunch some time ago.
What I find interesting and sad is people have conversation over things like TV shows. Sports I get, the dynamics of the games, plays, etc., but to talk about a TV show?
Or even watch TV but that's a different matter.
That said, after watching an episode of Ric Burns' New York, I had a great conversation with a friend about the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire and the rise of unions, etc. and the parallels of today, then we got to the Guilded Age.
