Ellie,

That is a terrific idea. Because Mr. Wonderful does have signs of having SAD. It's one of his chief opposition points to moving back to MT, where the winters are long and dark.

It's become a sort of joke in our house that he begins his official depression day on June 22, as the days start their descent and the nights get a little longer. This also means that he celebrates December 22, when the reverse process occurs.

We do this jokingly but I also realize that it's something not to be ignored. We fared well living in California, though I believe the Bay Area is approximately the same longitude. Go figure?

He did comment to me last week that he wanted to start exercising again. I just smiled. (Just keep swimming!)

Now where do I get one of those blasted clocks?
