A blessed solstice to those who mark it as a holy day, and an enjoyable day to everyone who just likes astronomy or calendars!
When I looked it up to stick a reminder in my QotD file, I saw that, for folks interested in scientific precision, the winter solstice this year technically occurs at 01:08 EST (06:08 UT) tomorrow morning, so I wasn't sure whether to include a holiday greeting under today's quote or tomorrow's. But I see that at least some of my friends are celebrating today, so I'll make it today as well. A happy shortest-day to you all, and looking forward to the return of the sun.
My own big winter holiday is still a few days away, and I am so not-ready ...
