In this current economic climate, and the fact that Daylight Savings time is coming up, I thought that a brief refresher course on how to save up for Daylight Savings time would be in order.

Since everyone will be losing an hour of sleep this coming Sunday morning, here's what I propose you do this week to make up for it.

1. Take a Lunesta and catch up on your walking, eating, or driving while you're asleep sometime this week.  This way you can sleep and make up that lost hour at the same time.
2. Zone out while talking to someone you find really boring anyway.  Since you probably won't find anyone you can do this with for the whole hour, you'll probably have to make some boring friends this week.
3. Take a power nap for an hour under your desk, a la George Castanza from Seinfeld.  In the fall you can work an extra hour to make up for the lost time if you feel really bad about snoozing on the company clock
4. Tax the "rich" for an extra hour of their sleep.  They probably spend the whole night just counting their stacks of money and gold doubloons anyway and won't miss it.

Or if you're like congress, don't save the daylight, in fact, spend trillions more than you have on pork projects like daylight arboretums and daylight beautification programs and expect the future generations (or if you're young, your older self) to save up enough daylight to barely make the interest payments on the daylight.  In fact, why don't we "spring forward" to the year 3929 to finance it.

Wow, it's been a long time since I wrote anything... this was just to force myself to write something.  And I think I'll start all my entries this year with "In this current economic climate."  I'm hearing it everywhere else anyway.
