Original Message I recently reconnected with some old friends. For the past couple of weeks I noticed, and then promptly remembered, how much one of them can just talk and talk for ages whilst going on a tangent very much like Grandpa Simpson.

He'll speak in literal monologues, without letting others get in a word edgewise, and worst of all he'll never arrive at a point. I just got off the phone after 25 mins because he invited me out to eat with the group, and I offhandedly asked him if he had seen the movie League of Extraordinary Gentleman, and then he decided to give me the complete breakdown in terms of plot and character development

Bear in mind we're all around 25 years old, and sometimes I wonder if this guy is slipping.

Discussion question: is this normal? If not, what's a polite way to help someone realize they come off as senile
