The Gospel According to Dufresne


Today is the first full day of winter (Solstice + 1 if you prefer).  In another few days, and thereafter probably for eight to ten weeks, weather in this parts is no longer going to "feel like Christmas". It is just going to be cold.  As we slog our way through January and then February, which in 2021 at least will not come equipped with its additional day for which no one asked ("Hey barkeep, let's get another day of February for everybody!" exclaimed no drunk ever), we need to keep our eyes on the big picture.

Here it is. 

Every day between today and the Summer Solstice, which for you folks playing the home version of our game might like to know is Sunday, June 20, those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere will get a minute or two of daylight more than we received the day before. A minute or two of daylight might not seem like a lot. I assure you it is.  

Where there is light, there is hope.
