Summer Solstice, or As We Call It Around Here, Wednesday

June 20, 2012: The summer solstice. I could give you a big long drawn out explanation of this, but basically it means the longest day of the year.  By 10:30 in the morning, I already had two meetings...yay!  Longest day of the year.  I started a diet today...yay! Longest day of the year! My air conditioning went out..yay! Longest day of the year.  My wife is in the kitchen again...yay! Longest day of the year!

Why isn't the longest day of the year on a Saturday, with me sitting at some Blues Festival with a cooler full of adult beverages? Nope, it's the middle of the work week, a hundred degrees and my desk looks like I'm trying to find receipts for the IRS.  But hey, with it being the longest day of the year, it gives me more time to get caught up I suppose.  I think next year I'll plan my vacation around the Summer Solstice.

On the bright side, summertime is here for real.  I know where my cooler is and the weekend is right around the corner.

Happy Summer Solstice Everyone!
