Tonight is the winter solstice, the longest night of the year.  For those of us who are solar challenged, it’s the most wonderful time of the year.  No need for sunblock, big hats, or long sleeves.  The weather and light conditions match my personality, cold and gray.

For those of you who worship the sun, take hope from the knowledge that you’ll start gaining back sunlight tomorrow morning.  Just do me a favor and let me enjoy my mid-winter’s bad mood in peace, OK?
