My wife and I can’t agree on when to talk

Dear Eric: My wife and I, both seniors, have similar views, but get our news from different sources. I read online and listen to podcasts while doing mindless tasks, at the gym and on walks when she does not join me.

She is totally devoted to cable TV and prefers me to not interrupt; I can do better and am trying.
