On the wives subject we had a lot of the same interests growing up with the music from 60’s and 70’s that she still likes but her tastes now lean more towards top 40 stuff like Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars that she primarily listens to with ear buds at the gym. When I’m listening to music she will come into the room and sit down for maybe 15 minutes but that’s usually about it. She has other interests which is fine. We had dinner with a few friends this weekend and after dinner we will usually head to a music room for conversation and good music. I was playing Natalie Merchant’s Ophelia and mentioned that we had seen her in a small venue on her Leave Your Sleep tour and what a great show it was. My wife’s comment was that we had to sit on folding chairs. As Steve Earle would say. Nuff said.
