With the hour I lost to daylight savings time, I could have

Stayed up until 3 a.m. talking on Saturday instead of chugging to a halt at 2

Made twelve media placements for my company

Learned how to retile my bathroom

Written a novel

Mastered ju-jitsu

Traveled the world on a unicycle

Fed the starving

Clothed the freezing

Ferreted out some of the invisible chains that bind me and tore them asunder, smiling beatifically as they shattered and showered sparks into the air

But since I no longer have the hour, I won’t do any of these things.
