What did you do for perihelion?


Peri-what? Perihelion. Today is perihelion. The day that the Earth is closest to the sun all year. About 3.1 million miles closer to the sun than it will be in early July (when the Earth is furthest from the sun).

So there you go. Perihelion. Now, what did you do today to celebrate perihelion? Throw a party? Spend the day outside? Angle your face to the sun and produce some vitamin D?



DJ and I used the good weather to our advantage and got out for a 'yak attack. Any day in January that you can get out on the water (without the risk of freezing or frostbite) is a great day, indeed.
