He must really enjoy the conversation at Thanksgiving dinner with his relatives. :-)

I don't know that I would have a Thanksgiving dinner conversation with him. I may simply listen to him talk.
Listening to him relate his personal history should keep me occupied for several hours.
Listening to him describe his mountaineering experiences would be good for Thanksgiving and New Years' dinners (a black, outspoken Republican who is both a State Senator and a serious mountaineer . . . I smell a sitcom pilot somewhere in there).
