I yell upstairs for him to come down and contribute something..

E, that brings back memories. My late husband and I were always yelling at one another "to come down and contribute something" to a discussion.

And when there was no one else around, we would stage our own discussions/arguments. He was a professed atheist, but better versed in theology than 99% of the nation's churchgoers. I was the resident agnostic, and so it clearly devolved on me to defend religion while he attacked it. Or we would argue about his idol, Ezra Pound; he was so pro-Ezra, that I of course had to be anti-Ezra...

This arguing was only a sort of intellectual flirtation...Oh, the joys of intellectual flirtation (whether or not they lead to outright intellectual seduction)! I miss them...

I think N. would understand -- although I will not reveal why I think he would. (Sshhh!)
