we criticize ourselves for having 'superficial' conversations about the weather, but really what is more important than weather? now that we have this amazing tool for communication, the internet, why aren't we all getting in touch with people around the world and having conversations about the [I]weather[/I]! :) seriously, before we had instant continental and inter-continental information exchange, the weather of a particular place was a very big thing, and it still is now!
I’ve got my week completed. Yeah! But Poppy will be going out of town Tuesday night for a meeting, I can never sleep when I’m home and he’s not.
