Set the clock ahead an hour Saturday night and welcome the return of daylight time

By Associated Press
4:06 AM CST, March 7, 2009

WASHINGTON (AP) — Heat up the grill and break out the badminton set: Daylight-saving time is returning to shift an hour of light to the evenings.

That means push the clocks ahead — spring forward — before going to bed Saturday night. The official change occurs at 2 a.m. Sunday, local time.

Daylight-saving time ends Nov. 1.

We are about to turn ours the other way but don't think it is this weekend.  Well, if it is, I haven't done anything about it.  I'll be an hour early for everything!
