Time Change! Time Change!

This is just a gentle reminder that the time will change tonight. We are going on (or coming off) Daylight Savings Time.

This may be confusing to some of you, but all you need to do is remember that simple saying, “Fall forward, Spring ….” I’m sorry, I meant, “Lean to the left, lean to the right, stand up, sit down, change the time.” I think I just made that up. How about, “Hope springs eternal, but fall more resembles ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’.” Going nowhere with this one, fast.

This would be much simpler if I understood what we were trying to do. In the dead of winter, I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark. In the heart of summer, I go to bed in the twilight and wake up at the dawn. The clock is only important in the middle of the night when I’m trying to determine how much more time I have to loll in bed. And at that point, accuracy isn’t critical, as my math is weak.

So, just do what I do. Set the clock forward or back, and be either two hours late or two hours early for you first appointment after the ‘great change’. It’s a hilarious ice breaker!
