    Lol oh yea. But right now, and close to Solstice, we only gain a few seconds a day. But the closer to Summer Solstice we get, the more time we gain a day. At the end there, we will be gaining over 7 minutes of daylight per day. By March I really start to notice a difference.

    I haven't figured out, if the days now start getting longer, why February is the longest coldest darkest month of the year. Sure glad it's only 28/29 days long.

    February is so dark and cold in order to make March the glorious month that it is! March is my favorite month. Still enough snow to run dogs, still enough dark to see auroras, yet the light is returning so the days are longer. Temperatures are normally mild (by comparison).

    Got to skate with my daughter's team last night. Those girls are so much fun. I only rarely get to skate with them.

    Happy 12th Alaskan Anniversary to me and my kids. I moved up here with my then 2 year old daughter and 5 year old son and what I could pack in my car. What a long strange trip it's been...
