Busted spring

It doesn’t matter how often I’ve experienced it, I cannot seem to get the hang of daylight savings time, especially in the Spring. Although Benjamin Franklin coined the term, “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise,” it was George Vernon Hudson who proposed Modern Daylight Savings Time (DST) because he liked the extra daylight time to collect insects. I should have known a Kiwi was behind this concept.

Skiwi loves waking up early. Just the other day DDDG was telling him she didn’t have enough time in the day. He provided her a response the next morning when she was sleeping in, “This is why you don’t have enough time in the day. You’re wasting precious hours, pumpkin.” She responded with a common phrase, not Benjamin Franklin’s phrase, but a common phrase, nonetheless.

I’m with DDDG on this one. It’s not that I need a lot of sleep as much as it is I really like taking my time. Instead of collecting insects, I prefer to collect minutes – many of them laying in bed (CO chair) or lollygagging around the house. Some may see it as losing minutes, to which I say, “Why so negative?” I see what I do as  a hobby of sorts. Once I collect enough minutes, I’ll have nothing but time on my hands. Unlike the Styx, I’m not worried about having too much time on my hands, I can use those extra moments to practice my Mr. Hoboto.
