Today is the Summer Solstice… we’ll have more sunlight available today than on any other day of the year.

However, I’ll probably get almost the exact same amount of sunlight that I get all other days of the year… roughly 10 minutes when I drive from home to work… 10 minutes when I drive from work to lunch… 10 minutes when I drive from lunch back to work… and then 10 minutes when I drive from work to home.  So given the 14.5 hours of sunlight that will be available today, I will be outside for 40 minutes of it.  The rest of the time, I will be hidden behind closed blinds.

So for me, the Summer Solstice is the day on which I miss the most amount of sunlight… almost 14 hours of sunlight that I don’t utilize.
