It's interesting because it isn't interesting. Rather, it's so commonplace that it's surprising that it can still be so interesting. We're having a stretch of cool, overcast weather. It just misses being gloomy except insofar as it gets dark so early for this latitude and this time of year. I had to do some banking and was talking about it with my teller and all the tellers, really. And that's the point: talking about the weather is such a trite feature of small talk, but just throw in one little bit of weirdness (in this case, the shift a few years ago of the changeover from daylight savings to standard time to a month later) and suddenly you have a conversational barnburner. Well, I thought it was really neat.
In less fun news, Dad had some tissue removed for a biopsy at the dermatologist the other week. Unfortunately, it turned out to be cancerous. He's scheduled for a procedure to remove the cancerous tissue in 3 weeeks. Presumably, this indicates nothing pressing or life-threatening. So there's that.
