I’ve spent more than a decade criticizing Daylight Savings Time, and yes, on the whole I find it sort of silly. But these days I’ll take every minute I can get, and the extra hour yesterday gave my weekend a much-appreciated lift.

They say an old Native American proverb claims only the white man would cut a foot off one end of a blanket, sew it on the other end and think his blanket is now a foot longer.

Yup.

But damn I love my nice long blanket.
