Saturday Snap – Jason Sandwich! (And Bonus List – What Do Old People Talk About When They Get Together?)

Went out with a bunch of friends for supper and drinks Saturday night but my buddy Paul doesn’t look like’s enjoying a “Jason Sandwich” between myself and another buddy named Jason.

Topics of Conversation Through The Evening (Beyond the Usual Generic Topics of Work, Family, Travel)

  1. How Empty the Restaurant Was On A Saturday Night and Impacts From Inflation to Covid (One Person Observes That If Our Table of Eight Wasn’t There, There’d Be More Staff Than Customers!)
  2. Home Renovations and How Exciting We All Find That Now
  3. Climate Change and How Much It’s Going To Suck For The Next Generation
  4. Old People Problems and Body Breakdowns Ranging From 20-year old Crowns Getting Infected and Requiring Surgery to Ingrown Toenails Requiring Surgery To How The Simple Act of Assembling Patio Furniture Could Put A Person In Salt Baths For A Week (and Possibly Require Surgery)
  5. “80s Humour” and The Changing Nature of Offence For Younger People. Has the pendulum swung too far the other way?
  6. Andrew Tate, Putin & the Ukraine and if there’s any room for “both sides” with hugely controversial topics/personalities.
  7.  Why Teenagers Aren’t Excited To Get Their Drivers Licenses Like We Were At That age (Everyone At The Table With Driving Age Kids Either Had Long Delays Until Their Kids Got Their License or Are Still Waiting)
  8. Women’s Rights and Feminism
  9. If We Should Have Different Expectations For Behaviour Based On How Old Someone Is – Should a 70 year old grandparent get more leeway for how they see the world than a 50 year old?
  10. Home Ownership and Again, How That Will Likely Be Very Different For Our Kids (Everyone at the Table was a Homeowner and it feels like we are the last generation where this is common/expected.)
