I'm almost 59 years old. I've been online for 33 years - starting with my own dial-up bulletin board system in 1993 - and continuing with AOL, my own dot.com web site, Myspace, WordPress, Twitter / X, Flickr, and Facebook.

ESTA MAÑANA I ate breakfast at the hot new Casavana Cuban Cuisine aqui en el este de Homestead.
I walked in a las siete y veinte, and I found a nice table for me. My first waitress quickly realized that mi Español era muy limitado, so she sent out another one who understood mi Inglés un poco mejor.
I ordered the ‘Casavana Breakfast’ for $6.99. It consisted of two eggs cooked my way (scrambled), choice of ham or bacon (bacon), two pancakes with butter and syrup, Cuban toast, café con leche, y agua fría.
The scrambled eggs were nearly perfecto. I’ve had some really bad scrambled eggs recently (on a recent vacation), and this is how they are supposed to be done – not too hard – not too light.
The bacon strips were muy grande y delicioso. The pancakes were muy bien también. The café con leche was strong, and I enjoyed every last drop of it.
I historically never order a ‘to-go’ bag for uneaten foods at restaurants; however, I just couldn’t walk away from the Cuban toast that I never got to eat during this meal. It looked so good, but I was so full. It came home with me. It’s what’s for Lunch !
Mi desayuno was a smash hit, and now I must check them out para el almuerzo alguna vez.
¡ CASAVANA DE LARGO VIVO !
The Sun finally reaches its southernmost point in the sky at precisely 1:08 AM EST early tomorrow morning (Saturday December 22ND) when it shines directly over the Tropic Of Capricorn. At that precise moment it will then begin its 6-month journey northward again.
It’s the First Day Of Winter tomorrow all across the Northern Hemisphere – and the First Day Of Summer south of the Equator.
From this past Tuesday December 18TH through next Tuesday December 25TH the Sun is at its lowest point in the sky for the year at its peak altitude above the horizon – 41.1° due south – at around 12:20 EST each day here in Homestead Florida.
We’re down to 10 hours and 33 minutes of daylight (from sunrise to sunset) here in Homestead. That makes it our shortest day / longest night of the year.
Our earliest sunset of the year (5:30 PM) actually occurred back on November 29TH and 30TH. Since then the Sun has been setting just a tiny bit later each day (5:36 PM tonight). Our latest sunrise of the season (7:09 AM) is still nearly a month away. It won’t start to get lighter earlier in the morning until January 21ST 2008 !
So enjoy the longer days starting tomorrow – just a tiny bit each day at the end of each day.
