Daylight Savings Time ends Sunday at 2am, so we all get an extra hour in our day when we set the clocks back one hour… Mike’s top five things to do with that extra hour

#5. Try and find that darn manual for the van, to figure out how to change the clock on the dashboard again.

#4. Spend it in thoughtful consideration of which better serves society, Facebook or Twitter.

#3. Spend at least half the day trying figure out if you would be too early for something or too late for something if you hadn’t changed your clocks.

#2. Wake up at 2am, just to feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day for an hour.

#1. Same thing you did last year. Forget to do it, then spend the hour thinking up a goofy excuse for why you’re an hour early for church!

Time change this weekend

Clocks go ahead an hour this Saturday night and that means a shorter day and an hour less of sleep time. However, there are a few good things about the whole ‘loose an hour’ thing — Mike’s top five good things about the time change.

#5. It’s later sooner. Oh, wait, maybe it’s sooner later? Ummm, hold on a second let me get a calculator and pen..

#4. Leafs fans; always appreciate shorter days in March.

#3. Being an hour late for church and cutting right to the communion line!

#2. Cher’s “If I could turn back time.” Over and over and over in your head all day. (Arguably not a good thing.)

#1. One less hour of shoveling is a good thing!
