The Long Darkness

Posted on December 21, 2006 by Gene

It’s that day — the “shortest” day of the year. This morning I got up and went in to the office before the sun rose; when I came home in the late morning there was still no sun due to rain. And now, at almost 5pm, the sun has moved on without putting in an appearance at all today.
It’s a little depressing; but those who are of the “half-full glass” persuasion — and that doesn’t include me, of course — will note that from here on out, every day will have more hours of daylight.
