This additional hour of sleep is very much aprecciated by me as I have to get up darn early tomorrow morning and drive to Nürnberg to do a radio show. 3.15 am is better than 2.15 am, ain't it? 

I like summertime better, though. Now it'll get dark again before 5 in the afternoon... Wish it was Spring already!

Argh... there goes my extra hour before nightfall.

I do my power walking in the late afternoon/early evening, and the rotten daylight shifting means I have to get my butt out the door by 4ish if I want to finish with some light left.  

Beginning in 2007 in the States, DST will start on the second Sunday in March (March 11, 2007), and change back to standard time on the first Sunday in November (November 4, 2007). Under Section 110 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the U.S. Department of Energy is required to study the impact of the DST extension no later than nine months after the change takes effect. Congress has retained the right to revert to the DST schedule set in 1986 if it cannot be shown that there are significant energy savings from an extension of DST or if the extension may prove to be unpopular with the American public. One potential issue is that some northern regions on the western edge of time zones will for the first time since the 1974-75 "almost year round" DST experiment have sunrise times that occur after 8am.

I personally am all for this - anything to keep it lighter longer in the afternoon.

. 3.15 am is better than 2.15 am, ain't it? 

I'm not sure Anke. Both of them sound pretty bad to me.

Me, I like the falling back.  I like more light in the morning and less at night.  Especially now that I have an almost five-year-old who I have to drag kicking and screaming out of bed at 7:30 a.m. lately because "it's still night time!" and who I have to drag kicking and screaming to bed at 8:00 p.m. because "it's not dark yet!"

However, my husband, Mr. Seasonal-Disaffection-Disorder-Reason-Why-We-Have-To-Live-Down-Here-At-The-Gates-Of-Hell Guy hates this.  He hates having his night-time light taken away from him.  He likes to go running or bicycling in the early evening and that gets a bit dicey in the dark.

I sometimes forget the spring ahead one, I guess because it annoys me so much.  But I'd never forget to fall back.

No thanks.  Trying to cut down. 

I overheard a co-worker once telling another one who was expecting her second (and the other one is 2) that "you're not really a parent until you have two."  Another friend once told me that having two kids wasn't twice as hard - it was four times as hard.  I guess once you get into the three and four realm, you're outnumbered so you either get really mellow about it or go right off the deep end.  A Mom at Will's preschool is expecting her *fifth*.  Good God.  If you can do it and you're good at it, power to you.  By the way, she and her husband are really, really mellow.
