We are finally here. Welcome to the bottom of the bell curve known as the Winter Solstice. If it's true that things have to get worse before they get better, then today is the apex of brooding and general grumpiness for anyone who is solar powered. The sun will be out for about 45 minutes today as it slowly hoovers over the Tropic of Capricorn.
The optimist that is buried deeply inside of me is screaming "Things start to get better tomorrow". However, the voice is very faint since he is being crushed by a very large man in a red suit. If you've been able to make it through the holiday swirl to this point, consider it a success and start counting the extra minute of sunshine that will start tomorrow. And a special reminder to anyone on the South Pole, you've got 23 hours of sunlight today....don't screw it up.
