From the Mpls StarTribune:
Summer...officially begins at 6:59 p.m. Friday.
This is the first time since 1896 - 112 years - that the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere has occurred before June 21, according to the William M. Staerkel Planetarium at Parkland College in Champaign, Ill.
According to the science-advocacy website www.earthsky.org, the time of the summer solstice is officially 11:59 p.m. June 20 Coordinated Universal Time as measured at the prime meridian at Greenwich, England.
So 7Pm Friday in Madison is Solstice time!
But that's good! That means you can definitely come, right?
t is hopeful
Yeah, I should be able to come. Add me, Vortex, please.
Yay!
Vortex, add us too, please? I'm making an executive decision since ND isn't around.
I can haz Ginger! Yes, they finally deighned to let her on the flight from Milwaukee. The last seat on the plane. Whoo!
Vortex, is there room for me and Ginger for the restaurant Saturday night? No big if there isn't, it just sounds like fun.
not a problem. I made a reservation for 6 people to start, I think it won't be a problem to change it, but I will have to call tomorrow.
okay, house clean(ish), mostly packed, to bed in a few.
what is going on for Friday night?
(and I just landed in Chicago and await my baggage.)
Vortex, I'd love to join you all for supper on Sat. night. Can you add me to the reservation??
Thankee!!
Ummm... I suppose I should go pack now. I need to leave here in about 7 hours and sleeping would be good, too.
Kathy A: I got your message, but didn't get home till 2. Figured that was a tad too late to call. I'm planning on leavng here around 10 to be at your place around 11. Will call you in the morning when I leave.
