Fall Back
Daylight savings time ends tonight in Silicon Valley: we get the hour back we lost in the Spring.
So tomorrow is technically a 25 hour day, something I wish for when I can’t prioritize.
We have eight weeks left in 2010 and there’s not enough time left to accomplish everything I wanted to this year.
Which means I have to step back and make some hard choices.
Fortunately I have an extra hour tomorrow to sit down and prioritize.

Remember to Put Clocks Hour Ahead on Retiring
Turn your timepieces ahead at 2 a. m. to-morrow when Daylight Saving Time goes into effect. “Spring forward—Fall back,” is the way to remember the direction. Residents of more than 1,000 cities, towns and hamlets in eleven States, Canada, Hawaii and the Philippines will join in the mass movement.
Many of the localities will observe the custom for the first time. Connecticut has repealed its law forbidding the public display of any other but Eastern Standard Time; Rochester, one of the cities which has hitherto refused to make the change, will turn its collective clock ahead, and in New Hampshire, where an anti-daylight saving time statute still stands, twenty-one cities will ignore it.
A considerable portion of the world instituted the sun-saving time from a week to a month ago. Great Britain, France and Belgium adopted the schedule last Sunday, and other Continental countries observing it include the Soviet Republics, the Netherlands and Portugal.
