I know that I’m probably in the minority, but this weekend–the one during which we return to standard time–is one of my favorite weekends of the year, unlike when we start daylight-saving time in the late winter (47-hour weekend).

I understand those of you who miss the extra hour in the evening, but it doesn’t have much value in the northern part of the country in November anyway. The leaves are off the trees, and the weather is turning colder; evening outside time isn’t a priority. Besides, after the change, it won’t be dark when I wake up in the morning, and it seems as if I’m sleeping an hour later for a couple of weeks.

And who wouldn’t enjoy a 25-hour Saturday.
