I was divorced three years ago after being married for over 30 years.  
I am very sorry to hear that. Did you have to go through lengthy legal processes involving alimony or child custody?
No.  I filed and my former spouse signed it.
Oh wow. Where are you from? I know that the divorce laws are so different from country to country.
I lived in Phoenix when I got divorced.
I recently learned it's the capital and most populous city in Arizona. Do you still live in Arizona?
No.  I moved to Texas to be with my daughter.
Oh okay. Texas has a complicated history with the Spanish conquistadors arriving there first. It very well could have been part of Mexico! How long have you lived there?
10 years.
Do you enjoy metal music? I ask because 10 years reminds me of the band which was formed in Knoxville Tennessee in 1999.
