The Weekend

Okay, on the topic of things David does to prove to the rest of the world that I am really not a genius. Just in case anyone becomes fooled, that is. Saturday evening we came home from the movies (Ice Age: The Meltdown, had a woolly mammoth that sounded a lot like Ray Ramono) with the knowledge that Daylight Savings Time was about to kick in, so, around the house I go resetting the clocks. I have this thing about clocks and probably have a few more than most people. Sunday afternoon rolls around, I made dinner, then we settled down on the couch and I thought I would catch the six o'clock news. I hit the remote just in time to see 60 Minutes go off the air. I told Jarek "Look at that, the networks have their times all screwed up!" and he said "Yeah, unless you turned all the clocks the wrong way." As the kids these days would say, "Duh!" I wound up getting the boys back to their mom about an hour and a half late. Good thing she & I get along. On the other hand, she was asleep on the couch when we rolled in and probably considered it a favor. I have repeated 'Spring ahead, Fall back' to myself at least 40 times over the past couple of days. Can't recall ever doing that before, but, I guess there is a first time for everything.

Now, time for my morning stroll. Guess I better get my coat out of the closet, as I heard the furnace kick on a little while ago. Still early April here in Michigan, my Michigan.
