We’re closing in on the first weekend in April, but I’m not especially looking forward to moving the clocks. Oh, sure, it’s magnificent driving home from work through Rock Creek Park in the daylight. But there’s just something about being awakened by the alarm clock at 4:54 am (and then occasionally re-awakened by the backup alarm clock at 5:01), negotiating my extended quasi-metrosexu
