New Obsession

I have become obsessed with the weather page of the paper. Not with the temperatures at home or around the country or the forecast for the week; my obsession is for the Sun Schedule. Every time that I look at it I see it grow by a minute or two. It makes my little shriveled heart smile to see the days getting longer.

Tomorrow, we Seattleites will have exactly 8 hours and 46 minutes of daylight. Today we only had 8 hours 45 minutes. It just keeps getting better. Soon I won't have to run in the dark after work and I might even be able to lose a little Pacific Northwest pallor. I might even be able to check "stave off Rickets" off the to-do list.
