**IMPORTANT REMINDER: This Saturday night we change back to Daylight Saving Time. Before going to bed, set your clocks one hour AHEAD, or you'll be an hour late for whatever you have planned Sunday morning. And here's Paul Gross' semi-annual trivia reminder: it's not Savings Time -- it's Saving Time (singular). For some reason that I've never understood, everybody says Savings. The proper way to say it is Daylight Saving Time. Now go correct somebody.
