The longest night

Today marks the longest night of the year, officially called the winter solstice. I love this day, because it means that starting tomorrow, each day grows longer and eventually leads to spring, summer and the good stuff that comes with them.

As I look out my living room window right now, I am delighted at the thought that this cold will last only 3–4 more months, and that the wind that literally just blew open my door as I typed the previous sentence will before long subside to a gentle summer breeze.

It can't get here fast enough...
