Topics
I never get tired of talking about.
Hmmm, I taught history for 27 years. World history, U.S. History, New Mexico history, military history. I write historical novels. My wife rolls her eyes and tells anyone around us if history comes up and says, “Don’t get him started.”
Books:
Why I love Top Ten Tuesdays and Wednesday Challenge is it’s all about books and
talking about them. In fiction there’s: children’s books, young adult, science fiction,
fantasy, murder mystery, thrillers, horror, romance, erotica, historical and
more that all of us share our likes and dislikes.
Non-fiction:
the topics are as endless as topics people are interested in. I like history,
science, psychology, sociology, how to, gardening, and others as they pop up
and catch my eye.
Faith:
I’m willing to share my faith, if asked or the topic comes up, but I don’t force
my beliefs on others and resent when someone tries to force theirs on me.
Here’s
a tip to all the women who wonder, “How do you get a man to talk to you and share
what’s on their mind?” My mother told this to my wife, and I wish she hadn’t?
Mom told her to, “Put a paint brush in my hand, and while we’re painting the outside
of the house or the inside, I’ll talk my head off.”
Do
you have any idea how many times we’ve painted the house in the last forty
years? It would have been so much cheaper and less time consuming if she’d
said, “Pick a topic, ask a question and let me pontificate.”

I am a history buff!! I majored in History, and seldom get to use the degree, but I still love it.
I love history. We’d probably have some spirited conversation.

I thought I wanted to teach history, but I caught the art history bug. I'll bet we'd have some great conversation. Great post!
It's cool that so many of us love talking about history!
I'd love to discuss history with you, Patrick! Great post! Thanks for sharing. Hmm, I think I'll try the paint brush idea on my husband. ;)
Echo, the greatest skill history teaches is research. When you research your books, that's putting what you learned into practice.
R's Rue, I'm sure we would and maybe will.
Megan, my father had a masters in art history and taught art in elementary and middle school. He gave me a wonderful appreciation for art throughout all of history.
Lydia, it's a fascinating subject.
Mary, don't tell him it came from me, he might hire a hitman.
I love talking about history, too! We could have some good conversations. :)
Trisia, I'm sure we would.
I love history, although I'm best on the Tudor/Roses period.
That's nice to know, Tanith.
