The happy today comes from family, friends, making pizza from scratch and expecting two nieces over for an evening of chick flicks.
The "huh?" comes from this article in the Irish Times yesterday which I read this morning: Newgrange got new lease of light and life in 1960s 'rebuild' - The Irish Times - Sat, Dec 20, 2008
"On the eve of the winter solstice celebration, several leading Irish archeologist have discovered that a controversial reconstruction of Newgrange passage tomb four decades ago led to the accidental detection of its key feature - the roof box"
Em... the reconstruction happened 40 years ago (when the roofbox was found) and they're "discovering" now that it led to the roof box being found. Er... did no one notice at the time that if they hadn't been doing the reconstruction they wouldn't have found the roof box?
On the subject of Newgrange - Happy Solstice. And this too makes me happy: Newgrange 2008.
