Friendly reminder!

A few years ago, due to NO ONE reminding us, we were 1 hour late for Mass on Sunday.
We had been on CathInfo too, but no one brought up the subject.

It might be less of an issue as more people use their phones for alarm clocks, to check their e-mail, etc.
Most people don't sit down at their PCs while getting ready for morning Mass, but it's easier to do a quick check on your phone.
Phones and computers do the time change automatically.

I know a man whose wife would go into fits of crankiness every year at this time, complaining that "They STOLE an HOUR away from me and I CAN'T get it BACK!" She also didn't know how to set clock times even on the microwave oven, which she usually had flashing "12:00" unless her husband reset it every time she pulled its plug to wipe the counter underneath it.
.
But she would have no such problem in the fall, when she made no pretense of hiding her joy at being able to "sleep in" an extra hour. 
.
He attempted to explain to her that she gets the hour back in the fall, but she wanted no part of that craziness. That's when he started telling friends and associates that we ought to support doing away with daylight savings time because all it does is make life more artificial and we would be more in tune with nature if we rose with the chickens like farmers do.
.
After the second year of this charade he connected the dots and anticipated the time change by setting all the clocks forward an hour starting mid-day on Saturday before "spring forward" Sunday.
.
He was amused to see his wife awaken Sunday morning all prepared for her yearly tirade only to discover that she had been seeing the new time all day Saturday all ready, at which point her aggravation suddenly evaporated. He was mostly surprised to see that she did not have any idea that her behavior was conspicuously changing before her husband's eyes.
.
The whole experience taught him a lot about his wife and about women in general. And his story was edifying to hear.

Yes, it sounds like someone's "white rabbit" (cf. Ignatian Excercises) is sleep. Giving up that hour during the day on Saturday didn't seem to faze her; it was only when it happened during her precious sleep time that it bothered her.
