I have been going to the Theatre in DC for the past several years. My favorites are usually the big Broadway hits, musicals, and commedies. I pay for tickets at the Kennedy Center, Warner Theatre, and National Theatre. I also volunteer as an usher in exchange for tickets at the Studio Theatre.

The past few days, when I looked up from my computer, I would see the clock on my wall trying to advance, but the hand would just twitch. It was clear that it needed a new battery. When I finally got around to getting a new battery, I took a minute to think about setting the time. In two weeks (I think) I will need to set all of the clocks for Daylight Savings Time. This clock is often one of the last ones I set, so it wouldn’t be too hard to set it now. But, I decided to set the correct time.
I like February because when I look at the calendar, I can also see the March dates at the same time. Since February has exactly four weeks, but February and March start on the same day. If I want to know what day of the week March 14th falls on, I can look at February 14th and know they both fall on a Sunday. Wouldn’t life be easier if all of the months worked that way. You would always know the 15th was on a Monday.
I have been on the Internet since the early 1990s. I started college at the University of Missouri-Rolla in 1991 and was quickly introduced to the Internet. At the time, gopher, telnet, and FTP were the main tools for surfing the internet.
