Our house sits at an angle rather than at True North. On the compass, it is approximately 13 degrees. In more lay terms, it is nearly North, but the front door points just a little to the East. In even more simple terms, it means that as of TODAY, there is sun shining through the North facing windows of my house and onto my computer monitor. I am going to be putting up with this for the rest of the summer now! Actually, it should be only till about the 9th of August since that is the same number of days after the Summer Solstice as we are before it now. Let’s see if that simplistic calculation works by putting a reminder into Outlook, shall I?
A new friend has been added to my Facebook account from years gone by. Andrea Sheppard looked me up and asked if I remembered her. I did… I had thought of her not two weeks prior! We met and sort of got to know each other a very tiny bit when we were kids, but then spent years not talking to each other. You know how it is to be a kid. We were in the Broomfield pressure cooker too, so that didn’t help! Despite the fact we never talked, there was nothing not to like about Andrea. She was just going her own way. So, all of a sudden we are kids again, picking up where we left off when I went to her grandma’s house in the fifth or sixth grade. I am happy. It is one of those situations where if I could go back and change it, I would. Now we can, so we are suddenly chatting and getting on like old friends. Well, life is too short not too…
