I’m a morning person by nature and don’t use an alarm clock unless I have to be somewhere early, like the airport for a 6:00 A.M. flight. Now the clock tells me it’s 9:43 P.M., my wife and daughters have been asleep for an hour, and I don’t feel the slightest hint of a tired urge to go to sleep myself. The sun didn’t come up until 7:45 this morning and it wasn’t light enough to ride my bike in to work until after 8! This morning, I would’ve given two thumbs down to the early switch to D.S.T. since I LOVE this time of year when it starts to get light out really early.
This evening’s ride home from work at 6:20 changed my mind. The temperature was balmy and comfortable, there was still plenty of light left, a nice change from last week when I’d rush to leave work by 5:45, and felt like I was racing the sunset to get home. I took it easy all the way home today, and it was only a couple of minutes slower than when I try to go fast.
So far my opinion is mixed.
