Hello? Is this thing on?

Tell me when you've started recording... What? We're live?? Damn - any chance we can start over?

Winter Solstice

Today is the Winter Solstice. The official start of winter. Bleah. And we even got our first 'real' snowfall of the year last night. Nothing outlandish, but enough to plow and shovel (and for the towns to put salt down). I shouldn't complain; we've had great snow-free weather for much longer than usual. But it still doesn't mean I gotta like it!

One thing about today that I do like, though...it's also the shortest day of the year. From here on out, the days start getting longer again. And that means that as of tomorrow, the sun will begin it's inexorable return trip northward. And we, who enjoy its warmth (and the clear roads that come with it), cannot wait to embrace it's golden rays once again.
