I Am A Murderer...
I Killed Time!
Halloween Parties have themes. Theme parks have themes. Some restaurants have themes. It stands to reason that if these places have themes, then a blog posting can have a theme. As such, the theme of tonight's blog posting on outofhans.com is, I'm tired. I am tired because we had to turn our clocks back this morning. Yes, I know, we "gained" an hour. But did we, really? If my math is correct, (and it never is, by the way...feel free to check it and correct it) I have sprung forward and fallen back 37 times (each) in my life. What does that mean? That means that in theory, I have gained 37 hours of sleep. But, thanks to this vicious cycle we're in, I have lost 37 hours of sleep. That equates to zero sleep gained, and zero sleep lost. And just thinking about all of this has made me tired. To be honest, I am tired of this routine.
Twice a year (that math is correct, I am sure of that) we gain an hour, then lose an hour. And no matter how hard I try, no matter how much I remind myself, I always seem to miss a clock, a watch or other timepiece. Then, I find it weeks later, look at it, and become seriously confused. (Yes, it's that easy to get me confused.) So now, I am confused. I am tired. I have to go on my twice yearly hunt for timepieces now.

I've lived in Arizona my whole life, so I've never done the Daylight Savings thing. Thank goodness! It just seems silly to me.
Although, I got this super smart alarm clock that reads the time through its electrical chord or something. However, its SO smart that it changes for Daylight Savings even though I don't. Twice a year I have a shock when my alarm goes off at entirely the wrong time.
