I'm talking about winter. I'm already tired of it and it doesn't even begin until Sunday Dec. 21st at 6:03pm on EST, That's when the "Winter" begins astronomically speaking .
The sun will be directly overhead of the Tropic of Capricorn.
Ordinary people like us think Winter has been around at least a month, but what do we know. That's why we're called ordinary. But personally I'm already sick and tired of the dark that's been showing up earlier and earlier each afternoon..
Many Doctors report that lack of light actually makes a lot of people sick. Depression induced illnesses mostly. I can understand that. I ain't feeling too great myself.
So, after Sunday, the light will slowly begin to lengthen and before you know it, our moods will brighten along with our days!
Oh, By the Way...I got a nice note the other day from Ann Mitchell, who's living in Florida, happy and healthy and sends her best to all of us in the class of '54!
She said she doesn't do email anymore....and frankly, that's why I hadn't heard from her in so long.
I've lost contact with most of my old friends who don't have email.........I hardly remember how to write a letter anymore.
