Today is the Summer Solstice: Monday, June 21, specifically about half an hour ago. It's the day during each yearly cycle with the longest period of daylight. That means it's light when you woke up and it will be light when you sit down for dinner. It also means more daylight for Solstice parties! Woot!

*Please note that June 21 is only the Summer Solstice in the Northern hemisphere. You Southerners have to wait until December for your next 'longest day party'.
