SAD? That Canadian weather getting to you Michael?
BTW, Seattle is a SAD capital, but so far it hasn’t gotten to me. I think that is because during the winter when it is raining, for me as a skier this is good since it means that it is probably snowing in the mountains.
Hah! I must admit, I am feeling quite a bit more chipper now that the days are long, and it’s regularly above freezing.
You should see the difference in my students whether it is sunny or cloudy outside. I swear they are 50 percent happier on sunny days no matter what I say 🙂
