Last night Big Bore and I settled down in the living room to watch basketball on TV, KU versus Radford. Here’s how the game started:BB: Where is Radford?
Me: It’s where Richie Bay teaches.
BB: Who’s Richie Bay?
Me: He’s my old hippie friend from college who’s now an art professor.
BB: Name doesn’t strike a bell.
Me: He’s the silk screened green face on that old T-shirt I wear when I’m painting.
BB: Oh, okay, I know who you mean. So where is Radford?
Me: It’s two hours from where Maureen lives. (He knows Dr. Maureen but he’s never been to her North Carolina home.)
BB: Does she live on the coast?
Me: No, the Blue Ridge Mountains in the northwest part of the state.
BB: So, where is Radford? (He’s trying to stay patient with me.)
Me: Virginia. Southwest part.
BB: Thank-you.
I think our conversations would be much easier on Big Bore if I’d just get right to the point, but it’s too much fun to string him along.
P.S. KU won!!!! Big! No question about it!

LOL. That is a great conversation. I bet he was getting aggravated. We had similar conversation about blinds last night. I finally said I dont care what we do with them but we have to do something. Thats a good enough answer for me. lol
so obviously you and BB need to take a road trip to show him this area he's missed out on...
