Let the double entendres begin! Today is July 2nd 2009 -- the midpoint of this non-leap year. Welcome to Hump Day 2009! One hundred eighty-two days of 2009 lie behind us now, and one hundred eighty-two lie ahead. Now might be a good time to re-visit those New Years resolutions and goals to see if you're about halfway done with them!
With just sixty-four hours left before I need to depart for Japan, I do not have time to prepare a proper half-year in review at the moment. However, I think that putting one together may prove just the thing to break the monotony during the twelve hour flight to Tokyo.[*]
In the meantime, I should also note that in about thirty-three hours, we will have achieved aphelion 2009. That's right: Up here in the North, the Summer heat may be a'blazing... but we are at about the point in our orbit that is furthest from the Sun!
Finally, for no good reason whatsoever, we have.... a poll!
[Poll #1424257]
[*] I know, I know. Everyone is just so riveted by the thought of reading my half year review! Indeed, it might prove revolutionary in curing insomnia!
