not us, but actors with a similar communication style
—
getting together with my friend yesterday to catch up,
with our usual mutual understanding:
“if i’m telling you a story be prepared to have 7 mini conversations and 19 other stories thrown into it.”
I didn't have my glasses on.... 
I love the expression on the listener’s face. This must be a good story!

hahaha; that’s how it is, Beth: conversations are organic; they are feisty and fun but you have to keep up; somehow you land somewhere 🙂

Yeah … I caught up with a friend yesterday, for coffee and cake and a lovely long chat. She organized the ‘blind date’ when I met my wife (Carole) 47 years ago …

When I get to catch up with a friend, I listen more than I talk. I don’t care what the conversation is about or how circuitous the journey to tell it. I focus on being in the moment In Real Life (IRL) with the person!
