March 28…
… and we move the clock up one hour.
At least here in Greece we did. I think in the States folks moved their clocks up around three weeks ago.
Relevant time differences now: seven hours ahead of New York, eight hours ahead of MN, and still one hour ahead of Paris.
So on this Sunday what did I do when one hour out of the day had simply vanished, disappeared in the name of day light savings time?
I meant to get some bona fide work done — lesson plans for the upcoming week, getting the demonstration paintings ready, locating all the materials I’ll be needed for painting and drawing classes.
Instead I went to a barbeque with some folks and spent most of the afternoon looking out over the bay of Paroikia and enjoying delicious kebabs and chops.
The weather was oh so fine, the view was amazing and everybody was in a laid back, happy mood.
After returning from the bbq I found my father and bro online and caught up with them — I tried to motivate them to play some ping-pong with one another. I would have loved to have watched that online.
Finally, some of the students and I watched The Graduate, one of my favorites. I’m always impressed with Mike Nichols directing, Dustin Hoffman’s acting, Anne Bancroft’s sexiness, and Katherine Ross’ beauty every time I see that movie.
Now I’m off to bed and looking back at a day that was ultimately not too productive. But it was a good day and one that felt nice, long and lazy, although we lost that hour.
