On the Day After the Shortest Day of the Year


Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring?

While it's not quite time to rip out the bikinis and dust off the frisbees, the shortest day of the year is now behind us - (for those who slept through it, you have the earth's axial tilt of 23° 26' to thank) - and before New Years Eve, the hours in the day will increase in length by 28 seconds. Which simply means it's time to make plans with the people we see only twice per year (why not shorten their two-day allotment?), plan resolutions we'll never keep (just recycle last year's?), and guiltlessly funnel eggnog down our throats while the gyms are temporarily closed (how often does that happen?). Enjoy!
