Short Day Party

We made it last night to two Short Day Parties. That's what I've been

calling them, parties around the solstice (which according to my watch

was just twenty minutes ago). A lot of people are bending themselves

into anxiety-ridden verbal contortions about what kinds of greeting to

give people. Most of the people I know aren't religious, so I've been

wishing them Happy Short Days. This was at the second party. And

there are more to come.
