Questions are the thing. When I met my now-husband at 23, I’d never met someone who asked so many questions. Initially I thought surely this guy is too smart to be so over-employing of question marks, maintaining a near-blinding dedication to asking *anything*, even if the answer seemed obvious. But I’ve watched years of stunning results with this tack of his, so I’ll add: ask the obvious questions — everybody wants to ask them, no one dares to risk it, but the answers regularly surprise with the non-obvious.

Also: Dipsea…though here my husband would earnestly ask, “Where’s Dispea? I’ve never heard of it and it sounds great!”
