Sunday Nov. 1 marks the resumption of what the old folks at home used to call "God's Time" - that is, the end of Daylight Saving (not Savings!) Time.

Being a morning person, I will rejoice to wake up to dawn, and to do my outside chores without aid of a headlamp. But I'll still feel that sense of tempus fugit when I look out the window at 4 p.m. and it's getting on toward dusk and I still have all this work to do!
