The Times They Are A-changin'
Oct 27, 2003

I'm so mad I could spit. Every time we go from Daylight Slaving Time to Standard Time, I get messed up. Plus I was a week off on Halloween.

What is this time thing? It's not that I can't read a clock or don't look at the calendar. I think that I must have finally followed the age old advice. I live one day at a time.

That is reportedly good advice. I presume it means pretend every day is your last so eat drink and be merry. No kidding? And die a gourmand, a lush and a giggling fool.

How about take care of your pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves? Sure, that's exactly why I have thousands of pennies in moldy jars and my dollars have gone elsewhere in search of a caregiver.

Then there's that old adage. Early to bed and early to rise will make you healthy. wealthy and wise. I think that changing the clocks back and forth knocks years off my internal and infernal time clock.

Treat, my curtain-climbing cat, just ate my alarm clock. Well, anyway that's what I'll tell my boss when I get there.
