A Winter Solstice sunrise, sunset preview at A Bitty Better

Those of you with enough patience to have been following my words and images here for awhile may recall that I have a thing for the solstice, both winter and summer. And today’s the day, my friends, when we here in the Northern Hemisphere have the Earth’s tilt that takes us furthest away from that…

Mike and Dave find the dates they deserve

Zac Efron has not been on what you’d call a winning streak with me. I hated Neighbors. If humanly possible, I despised Dirty Grandpa even more. Too despicable. Too deplorable. Too demeaning. D-minus.
