Guy at the pool yesterday...
Relaxed, high intensity guy at the pool yesterday, Mike, teaching his ten year old son Cameron (who almost drowned at the age of six) to swim got talking about internet chat. One of his no-nonsense observations resonated, "Conversations often tank when somebody's particular interest of the moment doesn't quite fit someone else's personal narrative". Thoughts?

Mike's, "... fit someone else's personal narrative" was the phrase that stuck.
Reinforced the hard fact that everybody's got a story they're trying to tell.

It fits your posts perfectly.
Regardless, what story are you trying to tell?

sometimes the stories being written are so intense for the writer that boatloads of paranoid insurance will be bought to shield that singular basket of eggs from the forces of evil that are never seen...

The post that was quoted here has been removed"So, does my personal narrative match your particular momentary interest?"
Thanks for asking, Hand. Answer would be 'No'. Swimming, ping pong (less often volley ball) has become a daily routine since April 18. Mike asked my opinion about teaching Cameron the breast stroke first. I suggested back or sidestroke might be less difficult... and that proper breathing was also important. He agreed. Cameron, a computer whiz, later switched the topic to the internet. It was then, over a second beer, Mike made the comment I chose to relate to you today.

I was 'helping' support his argument. I should spend more time in Debates.
