Summer solstice today. I don't follow any religious traditions but if I could choose when to have a holiday, I would choose a day of ASTRONOMICAL SIGNIFICANCE! I always feel sad as the days get shorter and shorter... Time to spend as much time as possible in the sun before it goes away completely. The worst thing about autumn and winter is leaving work at night. I'm not looking forward to that.

Dude it snowed on and off today, some summer solstice we had. Still spent every second outside I could but I mean damn.

Seething with jealousy.

It hasn't been less than 80f here for a month. I work from home, I only go outside while the sun is up to smoke during the week, and still I've got a farmer's tan. Can we trade?

Once I get done work my options are softball, sit on the grass if it's nice, day drink in Banff, hike, or there are even places to swim apparently if I don't have some sort of boat handy. I think I'll stick with this life even though the weather is interesting some days.

My wife and I got married on Beltane. It has the advantage of often being "The International Day of the Midwife" (for her) and occasionally being Cinco de Mayo (for me). It also has the advantage of jumping around and surprising us both.
