He spoke today!
Actually, he spoke yesterday too. But both times it was to spend 20 minutes telling me the minute details of this huge and bothersome project he is working on.
He could not help it. He was bursting at the seams to tell someone the entire saga. I was there. But all he needed was my ears.
I understand this since I used to need to talk to him too. Just to talk to someone. Anyone over the age of 17.
