 I'll even think of things to talk to people about before I see them. Maybe it's an acquaintance or someone, you know, can ask them what you miss about maybe a child's off to college. What do you miss about your childhood, that old house, this other state you lived in? Hey, I'm a huge fan of talking about the weather. I don't think it's just a polite thing. It's an intriguing thing to do. Even politics can be fun to talk about with the right people.
