Kickass and daylight savings

Kickass, the doorstop dog, says the keeper is unwilling to use the dog way of dealing with the extra hour gained with daylight savings time—that being to simply bury it like a soup bone and dig it up next November when the soup season sets in again.  Instead, the keeper has devised a plan whereby the extra hour put on the clock today is designated for special use at some point during the coming summer, say when one has kicked back in a chaise lounge with a cold beer and a hot book and there is an unexpected need to get up and perform some annoying house or yard chore.  It is incredibly easy, particularly for the keeper, to insert the extra hour into such a circumstance, and he—the keeper has done it many times.  Fortunately, nobody seems to keep score and the extra hour can be used over and over again, prolonging such joys as playing with grandchildren, sitting by the river with a fish-pole, visiting with old friends or holding hands and watching summer cloud formations with someone you love.  The keeper would call the new system “Carpe Diem,” but that title has already been used.  He is open to naming suggestions and is thinking along the lines of “Daylight Spending Spree” with special provisions for senior participants who recognize the value of an hour and acknowledge the eternal verity of mortality.
