Sunday dinner

Postscript: In all my ranting about losing an hour to DST, I forgot to post the pix of what I made for dinner last Sunday. This is seared herbed tuna, snowpeas, and fried rice (leftover oriental pork chop sauce). Cathy made the soup- chix breast with brocolli, potatoes, carrots, and eggs. Apparently she picked up the recipe in Costa Rica. - I wasnt really in a cooking mood but we've been subsisting on canned food / take-outs of late and this dinner turned out better than expected.

Sometimes you just need to make time. =)

Looking for a lost hour

On 2am of March 11, 2007, most of the United States switched to Daylight Saving Time (DST). (Now that is one descriptive acronym- I like it very .... visual somehow.)

So I lost another hour. Why another? I seem to be losing a lot lately. Work has been piling up and the hours, days, and weeks have gone whizzing by. I've been having these episodes when I sit back to work after lunch and would be surprised when people start packing to go home.... it's 5pm and I never had a clue. Ah, time flies when you're having fun, fun, fun.

Anyway, I cant believe we're a quarter into 2007 and soon, the seasons will turn. It is still officially winter but spring is making itself felt. Forecast for tomorrow is 70-- yikes, it was in the 40s last weekend. Dang these season transitions. I look forward to spring and some temperate weather.

That said, I look forward to winter's last hurrah. I have yet to make a snow angel and Cathy's went unrecorded. What of sledding, making snowmen, having snowfights....? Lots yet to do and no time to do it.

At least I can look forward to November when I get my hour back. A full 60 minutes, imagine that.
