So, in the fall, we don’t change our clocks. For a while we just continue doing everything an hour ahead of everybody else and feel virtuous for it. Because we are retired, it doesn’t make much difference. About two weeks in we change our clocks quietly. But it never works. Even without the TV and the daily office schedule, we just feel out of whack with the world and the metabolic thing is just spread out over two weeks. Hard to explain. I guess time really is a social construct.
In the spring, we just change all the clocks right away.
The result of this experiment is that Spring is easier.

"Time. Time is an artificial construct. An idea based on the theory that events occur in a linear direction, at all times. Always forward, never back. Is the concept of time correct? Is time relevant?"

But I like it! Should happen an odd number of times a year! Clocks are arbitrary anyhow; just wake up with the Sun.
