The Winter Solstice

Tomorrow, December 22, 2011 is the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. Lets all plan on recognizing it. Here's my plan. The weather has been very cooperative to the cyclists lately. I plan on taking a long ride. Arriving home, I'll be a little tired, maybe a little wet. I'll light a fire in the hearth, pour myself a Mild Winter, and listen to The Carpet Crawlers by Genysis. A great song, with the profectic line, "Weve got to get in to get out". That's is how I feel about Winter. Sure, there are plenty of activities unique to Winter, but Spring, Summer, and Fall have it beat. Let's celebrate, our days are now getting longer until June 22nd, the longest day of the year. Peace
