I was brought up not to talk about politics, sex, religion or morality in a mixed group. This leaves the weather, the food, and what the kids are doing.hat is somewhat gone as a topic, and since I am older now, the kids are grown up as are other people's kids so that is pretty much gone as a topic as well. The foibles of people biking and the vagaries of the ride are often the only bridge I have in social situations, especially since my other interests of Navajoo weaving and hand spinning fiber into yarn for weaving and knitting are even more obscure than most topics.
