You're welcome.

Had this last Sunday, just another 14 weeks of shorter days than today to go.  <_<

Back in the day, Comedy Central used to run an ad that said "Remember: Fall forward, Spring back".  Now that sticks in my mind more than the correct way.

I wish they'd leave the clocks alone, on the summer schedule, at least for the northeast. I've felt that way for years just to avoid the hassle and what seems unnecessary or outdated aspect of it, but I recently read an article saying that. It also argues that since we're further east from the rest of the east cost it makes more sense for us to stay on daylight saving time anyway.

For those of us living in a higher latitude it just doesn't feel like it makes much difference.  In the winter there just aren't enough daylight hours to go around no matter how you slice them.  In comparison, in the summer there are more daylight hours than you could possibly need.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Yeah, seems that way sometimes. In the summer it doesn't get dark until 8:30 or so. I can't even go to bed at 6pm when it's still light out!    ;)
