Something to Think About As We Spring Ahead

Many of you are trudging into work this morning after getting one fewer hour of split and enjoying a weekend that was 2 percent shorter than every other weekend.
But at least you are not Tom Seaver.
A few years ago before he was mercilessly let go as Mets TV analyst, Tom Terrific a great story about the havoc "spring ahead" wreaked on his life.

In a measure of good planning, Seaver set his hotel room clock forward one hour before he went to bed. Little did he know that the clock would automatically reset itself at 2 am.

So when he woke up he thought he was an hour late, so he ran through the hotel lobby to catch the team bus. When he did, he thought he missed it, but he was actually an hour early.

I hope laughing at Tom Seaver will help you get through your "Spring Ahead" blues this morning.
