My advice for today: never take time for granted.
As in, don’t assume your smartphone clock is always right. Like I did this morning.
I woke up and glanced at my phone — 6am.
Perfect.
I could turn off my usual 6:30 alarm (because I hate alarms) and check my email, Facebook, etc. before I woke up the dog, who I could hear snoring on his pillow.
A lazy, relaxing start to the day.
When the two of us ventured out into the living room some 45 minutes later, the DVR clock held a surprise —
It was 5:45, not 6:45 like my phone seemed to think.
A quick check of my phone’s clock settings revealed that the “automatic date and time” selection that links your phone to the network time was unchecked.
I don’t know how that happened. I certainly didn’t do it. But consider this post an opportunity for you to double check your smartphone settings…
And get all the sleep you deserve tonight.

I don’t watch Game of Thrones.
I know — it’s laughable.
But I do read all the spoiler-filled columns about each episode on Sunday night, written by faithful journalist-viewers who continue to be ‘shocked’ by the weekly carnage.
How many times can main characters be murdered — in new and albeit creative ways — before it becomes expected instead of shocking? I mean, I don’t watch the show and I look forward to hearing how many people are skewered this week and how they did it.
If you are still shocked at this point, GoT fans, then don’t get out of bed.
Your living room, the city streets, and definitely your place of employment are filled with random horrors that you are not man and/or woman enough to face.
