Today is the final Friday of "Eastern Standard Time" for a while. Saturday night/Sunday morning at 2:00 am (spoiler alert: grouchy, middle-aged men do it before we go to sleep at 9:00 or 9:30 pm) clocks will "spring forward" one hour. Daylight Savings Time shall begin!
Exclamation point notwithstanding, for me the excitement associated with moving the clocks ahead one hour comes from what it has always represented to me, which is that spring is right around the corner with summer coming up fast. Days filled with more daylight, more sunshine, the hope that last March was an aberration, and that the long nightmare in which we appear to have been trapped ever since is finally nearing its end.
Be careful out there.
