The Longest Night of the Year!

Winter solstice is very hopeful to me - cuz from here on out ... THE DAYS ARE LENGTHENING!!!!!

It's going to be a very long night for Monte. Don't know if he slept on his 10 hour flight from Copenhagen. But the plane was late getting into O'Hare. He'd have missed his flight if it weren't for his flight to Denver being delayed too. Why? no bad weather here, but Chicago is such a bottleneck ... and then Denver flights were messed up today too, due to a plane going off the runway last night and catching fire. No one was killed, but they all had to slide out the emergency exit doors and people were injured.

Dawson is picking him up and they probably won't get home till after midnight. Let's see ... midnight here would be 8 in the morning in Norway, which Monte's time-clock has been on for more than a week. We'll see ...

Monte just called ... from the plane ... that's just sitting there in Chicago ...

Me too! I love when Dec 21 is over with! I saw on PBS the other day that because of sunrises and sunsets, Dec 6 (or thereabout) actually seems shorter to people because that's when the sun comes up the latest, and so people see dark when they get up and when they leave work. But the 21st is actually the shortest, but the sun is coming up earlier and so people don't feel like it's the shortest. It was interesting.
