Hey, Sean! Yeah, it just came back to me last night while I was making a sandwich (as memories often will).

40% of the cast of the spring 1989 (1990?) West High production of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” here in this very comment window. That strikes me as really cool, although I can’t quantify why.

John – I would argue just the opposite. “Daylight Saving Time” sounds to me like the daylight is somehow being rescued. And just for the record, the good folks at Merriam-Webster and at whatever Internet source my desktop dictionary pulls information from (very possibly also Merriam-Webster) both say the terms are interchangeable.

That said, I’ll not challenge the throne. Off to the editing page.

Matt – I’m pretty sure it had a name. I’m sure we usually just called it “the library” (which ties in nicely with today’s post over at plash.org), though.

I thought it was just the Wartburg Library. Or maybe the Wartburg-Waverly McCenter for Archival of Literature and Periodicals.

I don’t know the name of the library, but I felt it was essential to tell you that it’s “Daylight Saving Time,” not “Daylight Savings Time.” The latter seems like it might be a promotion at a bank.

It’s this sort of pedantic nitpicking that contributed to my having a far less collegial collegiate experience than you, but now it pays the bills, so I doubt I’ll ever change.
