passing of seasons

At long last, we will be rid of daylight savings time! As a 'morning person', it can't come too soon. We should get organized and insist on the government leaving our clocks alone, or at least alternate years. Or... how about 'leaping ahead' every Monday, say about 8am, and 'falling back' every Saturday?

We are finishing up a month long orgy of horror and entering a two-month celebration of Christian/pagan indulgence. We were just given a cast-off I-Pod. Maybe that will help me get through the holidays without being overexposed to carols.

My theory about holiday hoppers is that they are people that hate winter. They probably are house-bound and only experience winter when they walk from the house to the garage and sit down on frozen vinyl for a trip to the mall. They get through till spring by hopping from Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas to Valentines Day.

While it's good to have things to look forward to, we need to celebrate every day for what it is.
