why weather?

Its American Thanksgiving, not that this fact has anything to do with the weather, or the title of this blog.

The sky has turned blue, and if it were summer, it would be bright blue. But its not. Yesterday, it was nothing but rain pouring down, and no one knew if the sun ever rose.

I want to try my hand at writing -- but what to write about? What do people talk about when they don't think they have anything to say? The weather.

I do want to write about the weather -- to describe the light, the passing of clouds and time, the rain, the sun, to revel in the small details that disappear. I might also try my hand at reporting on the everyday, expressing unsolicited opinions about world events and movies and the quality of coffee. Occasionally, some profession-related writing might creep in.
