This is the last day of an old year. I know how that sounds, what day it is. In as much as I'm trying to eliminate the arbitrary, have a reason for everything...the calendar's not cutting it. My calendar's different-it's the 8th that'll be a new me (Thirty-three this time. I'm having a passion play) but from a purely mathematical standpoint, I like the perihelion. It'll be a cusp day, an ending. And while the solstice certainly counts too, it's a little heavy with historical baggage for my taste. So yeah, the perihelion. At nine minutes after midnight tonight, GMT, we'll be as close to the sun as we'll be for another year. That seems like it's worth noting.
