Happy Solstice everyone. May the new year bring you joy and peace.

Also my birthday – I always thought that fortune had smiled on me to give me the longest day of the year as my birthday! And today, with a beautiful summer's day, and a new swimming pool in the backyard receiving its finishing touches and looking absolutely inviting, its more perfect than ever … My poor daughter's birthday, on the other hand, is 23 June – she gets the shortest hours of daylight for her birthday.

Happy BD, Arteis.

today, with a beautiful summer's day, and a new swimming pool in the backyard receiving its finishing touches and looking absolutely inviting, its more perfect than ever … I take pleasure in knowing that while it's -16°C (-28°C wind chill) here, that the sun is shining bright and warm on a good birthday and a swimming pool. Congrats on another year, and bask a bit more for us.

Happy Birthday, Arteis! And Happy Winter Solstice to everyone. OK. Where's the human sacrifice? KIDDING!!

Favorite day of the year, since it means the days start getting longer and longer (at least for those of us on the "top" half of this earth…)
