Winter gloom

Daylight savings time has ended and for me that marks the beginning of the long, gray, depressing slog through winter.

I don't do well with short, dark days.

To make things even darker, NASCAR's season ends this weekend.

I don't know what it is about NASCAR, but it makes me happy. Just about nothing else does.

This season isn't even over and I'm already counting down the days to next season's Daytona 500. It falls on Valentine's day in 2010, and that's just 89 days from today. By then the days will be noticeably longer and brighter.

89 days to go. I think I can tough it out.

Have you tried musicals? Watching those does the trick for me.

The days start getting longer at the Solstice. I have to hold that good thought.

Yes, Solstice is one of my favorite days of the year.

I've heard good things about light boxes. Have you ever looked into getting one of those, trying light therapy?
