summer begins today!  and it's the longest day of the year.  on the other side of the earth, it's the shortest day of the year and winter begins.  isn't that amazing?     happy summer!  happy winter!  today you both arrive having changed places from one side of the globe to the other.  on this day in the mid1990s i was in australia.  it was hot and steamy and didn't feel like winter at all but it was winter nonetheless. modern life afforded the opportunity to experience winter in australia while everyone at home was celebrating the coming of summer.  experiences are priceless.
