Standard flattery is always a good gateway to get a conversation going. “You’re 92? You don’t look a day over 75! Tell me your secret!” Then they talk about how they’ve been having Sanka and Jameson every day since 1942 and boom, you’ve got stuff you can use for a conversation. Why Jameson, how coffee and coffee culture has changed over the years, the 40’s, what happened in 1942 that made them take up Sanka and Jameson, etc. Similarly, other broad questions that are beyond the basic “how are you?” I always like asking for someone to give me the elevator pitch for their memoir, or just asking “what makes you tick?” Phrase the question in an interesting way and the answer will always get more interesting as well.
