december 21st.

b was at dunkin' donuts last night getting a cup of coffee. the lady behind the counter said it was "too much cold" outside. b agreed and added that it was only the first day of winter. the lady then informed b that winter was not for "5 or 6 years." (at this point, i picture b cocking his head to the side a bit as he questioned the response.) perhaps he had misunderstood her. or maybe he just hadn't heard her correctly. he replied, "oh, actually today really is the first day of winter." "no, no," she insisted, "is 5 or 6 years away."

we're not sure what she meant, but b suggested that maybe she knows something that we don't.
