  Daylight Savings Time
I'm 50 years old and I still cannot get used to daylight savings time. Why?

The first reason is my body clock is very strong. At 10:00 PM each night my brain shuts down. It does not matter if I see a clock or not. My body knows the time. Several times I've been out of site of a a clock. My body screamed at me "Time to go to bed!" No matter if I'm in a party having a good time or staying up watching the stars in my remote country estate. At 10 o'clock my brain and body say "What are you doing? You're supposed to be in bed!"

No matter what I'm doing, no matter what spiritual state I'm in...The internal body clock rules. So now comes daylight savings time. We loose an hour! An hour of sleep!

Today at church my tired body told me it was too early to go through all the demands of Orthodoxy. But I persevered. I like to think that God had pity on me during the service. I just wanted to make it through...And have some positive influence on God's Kingdom.

Bottom line is that men thought up daylight savings time. They did this to get more work out of us. Since I cut grass and do landscaping work this engenders ill feeling on my part toward Government officials (not that I didn't have them already).

If my memory is correct I'll adapt in another three weeks. By then my body will have gotten over its rebellion.
 
  George Mason
Don't know what possessed me last night, but I watched the George Mason/Florida game last night. For the past few week I've loosely followed the final four activity of college basketball. Even though I'm a short distance out odd Tallahassee FL, I twilight 'Well, why not root for our strongest rival-Florida. I got say, Florida dominated the play to this point. When I turned on the set an hour before game time all the commentators were picking Florida.

Now a few qualifications are in order. I'm not a basketball aficionado. I'm not even a sport's jock. Be good grief! Florida has it all!

There was no doubt that the three point shots dominated the game. George mason couldn't put together a long effort to rout Florida. Almost none of their three point shots worked. Noah dominated the center of the court. Green was unstoppable.

My son pestered me to put on Spider-man ll (it was my idea). I said the games almost over! Lets see the final three minutes. You've got to understand something. I'm a die hard Seminole fan. I'll always root for my team. If truth be told however, my real reason for rooting against Florida has historically been because Steve Spurier was the coach. Has their ever been a more pitiful coach than him?

Never did suffer winers and complainers very well. Steve broke and formed a new mold of disgruntled complainers. So considering all this I am still amazed that I can root for Florida. Their play impressed the hell out of me however.

I predict they win the whole shooting match!
