Solace in Solstice

Sure, we're in the shortest days of the year right now – but in just a week, you'll be clocking an extra 60 seconds of sweet sol every day (including a four minute gain on the all-important sunset side). By the time the college football season draws to a close (Jan. 9), you can add another ten minutes of Mr. Sunshine to your daily haul.
