All of this. Plus family and friend stuff. We typically go to the movies a couple of times a month and talk about that. We have a few shows we watch together and talk about them. We love documentaries which always leads to some interesting stuff to discuss. We text each other articles the other one might be interested in — stuff like orca whales attacking boats, guy discovers buried treasure in his backyard, etc. And we talk about that.[/quote]

Same poster. To give you a very concrete example, we drove 30 minutes each way last night to go to a date night at a minor league baseball game. The one hour commute involves discussion about the perfect weather, did we go to a game last season, my dad and sisters argument with each other, his divorced friend that has no life other than his kid and we are worried about him once his kid graduates and heads to college, who would my husband stay friends with amongst our social group if I died (this was actually more of a joking around thing), our plans for the next night (we have separate plans with friends), etc.[/quote]
