Will you be using Earth time or Jupiter time? And will this be on the current time line or not? Will it change if there is a transit strike in Boston? Do you sense irritability with myself at having been unable to guess the correct date? With your generous offer I would like to update now to 12/16/05...the idea of Beethoven's birthday just seems to lull me into a twisted sense of serenity.

On the Winter Solstice, December 21 at 1:35 p.m., EST, the shortest day of the year.

The sun will have reached the Tropic of Capricorn and will start heading north.
