High Holy Day: Daylight Savings Fall Adjustment

Sunday is the highest holy day on my personal calendar. It's the 25 hour day. The day where even getting up at 5am comes an hour later. It's a glorious thing, though it only barely manages to edge out Thanksgiving. 2 holidays within a few weeks of each other that bring us all together to celebrate the 2 great advances in human history: extra leisure time to sleep and abundant food. Let's celebrate. The virtual pumpkin cheesecake's on me!

I look forward to the day when my young daughter learns what "changing the clock" means. Until then, I'll be up when she thinks it's 530A. Enjoy your sleep - I look forward to joining you in a few years.

Well, for all my bravado, rest assured that Rowdy will begin crying for his breakfast at precisely 4:52 on the old time tomorrow morning, 8 minutes before my alarm usually goes off. I've had to start resorting to celebrating the extra hour awake instead of sleeping the last while, but it's still extra time.
