Is there really a way to save?
I mean you set up a notification on Google flights and wait?
And then there’s all the points and miles too

I've read lots of books and seen TV shows and movies but it's rare to find anyone who actually wants to talk about it.

My dad wants to know if there was a secret addendum to the Molotov Ribbentrop pact

I'd love to chat with your dad but I think it would be a lot of him talking and me listening, I don't think I'd have much to add that he didn't already know.

Preferably, something NOT related to your day job - because presumably, you can "geek out" about it plenty at work.

For me, it's meteorology. I'm a huge Capitol Weather Gang fan, and whenever the weather is doing weird things, I always like to follow them and find out why. Like when they explain how wedges of cool air get stuck against the mountains in West Virginia and ruin a forecasted sunny weekend, or other explanations that go way in-depth about weather patterns. I could blather on and on about the factors going into whether we're having a sunny or rainy weekend while most people just check their phone app and plan accordingly.

We could be friends op the weather would be my answer too.

And the history of the place. I want to know everything about the places I see. Also the political history and human migration.

I find stuff like this fascinating, trying to communicate with other civilizations. Also love attempts to communicate with extraterrestrials, and untranslated ancient languages. Best class I ever took in college was "Dawn of Civilization" about the beginning of written history. Also love astronomy and molecular biology which is my chosen field.
My husband could not care less about any of this! The only person who really gets me is my elderly uncle and we are very close.
