Time slows down, if just for a moment


Q: How do you get some extra sleep without going to bed earlier or getting up later?

A: Adjust your clocks for Eastern Standard Time.

That periodic ritual should be done no later than 2 a.m. this Sunday, November 2. That's when we make the transition from Daylight Saving Time to EST, regaining the hour we lost when we set the clocks ahead a few months ago.

Here's a thought about time in general, from the American minister Henry Van Dyke, circa 1905:

Time is too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear
Too long for those who grieve
Too short for those who rejoice,
But for those who love,
Time is eternity.”
