What are you thinking about?
You look so pensive.
I was just thinking about how much thingshave changed since I was a child.
Oh, sometimes I think about that too.
What were your thoughts?
Nostalgic, for sure.
Generally I remember the best times, andthen I get a bit depressed when I think about how things have changed.
What kinds of changes depress you?
Well, one thing is the pace of life.
Everything is so fast paced now, so thereisn't enough time to think.
That's because you've grown up.
You're not a child anymore, so you haveresponsibilities.
It's more than just havingresponsibilities.
My parents had to work, but they also hadtime for other things.
My dad used to go fishing on the weekends,and my mom used to work in her garden.
She loved to grow flowers and vegetables.
Yeah, that does sound nice.
Living in the city makes things like thatreally difficult.
Yes, living in the city is certainly partof the problem, right?
Well, that depends on you.
You make things sound as if you have nochoices in life.
It's the choices you've made that put youwhere you are now.
Sure, that's certainly part of the problem.
I guess I've changed.
You want a lifestyle that you can't have inthe city.
If you really wanted those things, youcould move back to the countryside.
No that's not an option.
If I did that my wife would divorce me.
Have you ever talked about it with her?
No, I haven't.
We don't talk about things like that.
We are both too busy.
I think she's even busier than I am.
Well, maybe she would surprise you.
Maybe she'd like a change too.
You should talk to her.
Emm, I don't know.
What about you?
I'm OK.
My wife and I expect things as they are.
We try to think positively, and we supporteach other.
It sounds like you have a good marriage.
Yes, we do.
And one reason for that is that we shareour thoughts with each other.
We don't want to grow apart like so manycouples.
Maybe I'll surprise my wife and startsharing my thoughts with her.
Well if you don't do it now, nothing isgoing to change.
Yes, you are probably right.
I'll think about it.
