The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I don't know, I traveled I don't even know how many miles to get to the Faroe Islands for a solar eclipse and it was cloudy and rainy and you mostly couldn't see anything and it was still magical. I bet neolithic solstices were, too.
Although they wouldn't have had hot chocolate. But they wouldn't have known it existed to miss it.

I have to imagine cloudy grey winter solstices are kind of the Stonehenge default, since it's in England?

Does seem likely. Now, when you've got ash from a volcano, say, more or less blocking the sun entirely on the solstice, that's gotta suck.

I just finished with the orthopedic. The source of my pain is a bulging disc in my neck, and if the weakness in my right arm doesn’t improve in a month, I’ll probably have to have surgery.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
If you do have to have surgery, the good news is that you'll feel better as soon as you wake up.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Lots of O2 ~am to your friend and his Dad, Steph.
Kitty ~ma to Javi and Batcat. I’m so glad you are taking care of Javier, Calli.
Coddled eggs are my favorite but I haven’t had them in years because I need to fix my coddlers. Maybe over Xmas?
I’m considering leaning into my Jewish side and getting takeout for Xmas. We don’t have great Chinese around here, so maybe Vietnamese and Thai? Will have to see what is open.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Happy Solstice!
Bring back the light.

I'm sorry the prognosis isn't better, sj.
