hows the weather

I have always wondered at the great lengths family will go to discuss the weather. I don't talk to my family as often as I feel is the "right and proper" amount. Maybe all this weather talk is a way of saying how are you in code. You know if I answer "it is raining not much going on" then it is piss, but if I say "it is raining, but we were out hopping in puddles and making a big old mess" then life is good. :) I am on my way to pick up the boys. I think we will go and hop in some puddles. How is the weather there?
