Winter is here

Winter officially arrived this evening, at 19:22 EST.

The Winter Solstice is good. It means that the days are now going to get longer from now until June. And that will be good. I don't like it when its already dark by 16:00. Not a good thing in my book.

And to top it off, this week I've grudgingly welcomed in winter with a lousy head cold. Bad omen? Perhaps... if you believe in that kind of stuff...

Here's an idea: why don't we skip winter and jump right into Spring? Bring on the warm weather!!!
