Spring Forward, Fall Back

Like millions of Americans, I realized that Sunday brought an end to Daylight Savings Time as I drank beer in a bar on Saturday night. I won't say that gaining an hour is as big a reason to celebrate as, oh, Christmas, but getting an extra 60 minutes of sleep is awfully sweet when you're deep in your cups.

Thing is, when you DO wake up and start staggering around it's important that you realize that the times have been a-changin'. Otherwise you'll be flipping channels looking for the NFL pregame shows and finding Meet the Press instead.  And that's a horrifying prospect if you're feeling a bit rough.

So hopefully all your clocks have now been corrected (including your circadian clock) and you're ready to make the most of the day. And while I'm sure you had tonight's Sunday $200,000 Guaranteed Tournament marked down on your calendar, a friendly reminder that tonight's event starts at 5pm EDT, and that 5pm rolls around an hour later than it did last week. Just so you know.

And, just so you know something else, if you knock out P0ker H0, KrazyKanuck, debo34, or Shawn Rice you'll get your $200+15 buy-in back. How you go about trying to pull that off is totally up to you. I'm done helping you out for the day.
