i had an enjoyable conversation today

Foggy weather and Christmas lights accompanied Daniel's reflections after an extended Star Wars discussion with his manager's daughter caused him to run late.

Reflections spanned age gaps in dating, politeness norms in Japan and Korea, drama plots, and Daniel's linguistic adaptations when communicating with family, coworkers, and others.
