Today is the shortest day of the year — well, in some senses I suppose. The sun, in the northern hemisphere has its shortest trajectory today and man oh man am I happy about that. Because that means that tomorrow the days start getting longer and summer is officially on its way. We are now halfway through the forest and instead of entering we are leaving.

Today, Brooke and I also hope on a plane and fly to Chicago to meet my sister and brother-in-law who will then drive us to Holland, Michigan where we will be for 5 days, and then we head up the glove, across the bridge and over until we run smack into Escanaba Michigan.

We shall return on January 2nd. No guarantees that I will blog while away. So if I don’t, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I look forward to journeying with you all in the New Year.

peace
