Missing out
I’ve had many people ask me about today. And it is a special day, a lot is happening.
First, it’s Summer Solstice, a great reason to celebrate, at least for us Nordic people. This means quite a few invitations, including one for my own family’s yearly reunion – which I’ll be skipping this year, for the first time ever.
Second, there’s a demonstration against racism in our city today. I’ve been wanting to go there, but I chose not to, for a variety of reasons that I won’t discuss here. But let me say that when they walked past my window, I was quite sad not to be there, shouting with them ‘No racism in our streets’.
Third, a friend of mine graduated yesterday, and she’s having people (including me) over today for celebration. So this is where I’ll be going this year, on this day of burning witches.
Solstice is also a game for the NES.
