Tomorrow is the summer solstice! Hard to believe. While Humphrey is largely stuck indoors, writing grant proposals and promised papers, he is dreaming about summer fun to come. One of his most pressing wishes is a day of shopping. You never know who you'll see at Windsor Crossing, and many of the shop keepers know his name!
