I’m not one of those guys that gets bullshitted into thinking that I just gained an hour of sleep!
I didn’t gain an hour of anything. I gained several days of not knowing what the hell is going on!
I gained two months of afternoon sunsets.
The reason we decorate our houses like Las Vegas strip clubs every Christmas is to fight the darkness of winter. It works….It works like a punter on fourth down!
“We didn’t get the first down? It’s fourth and twenty on the January 6th yard line…. The three wiseman have left the game and the Shepherds are standing in the cold!”
I despise today, but sometimes you have to suffer to appreciate the good things. Three or four weeks of sunsets after 8:30pm and a week or so of sunrises just before 5:00am…
…..it’s a good return. It is our payoff for enduring dark rush hours with crusty windshields and no bug juice to clean them!
This is why 7/11 has cases of windshield fluid stacked in front of the store every winter.
Go enjoy this short beautiful Sunday. The longer shadows and falling leaves. Enjoy soft sweatshirts that will be tight in six weeks. Sit by the warmth of a fire pit with people you love. Bake cookies and drink Baileys in your coffee! These things are meant to be done when the sun is setting during afternoon pickup and the Final Jeopardy question.
Sooner than we think I’ll write 5:12am and 8:36pm on the bottom left hand corner!
