Old Home Week:
Reprinting Sam's post on WC from 6-17-04 in case anyone missed it:
Dana did in fact arrange to have the weather changed, and we should all send our thanks to him. Incidentally, I made an error about Dana and next year's conference. I said that he had talked with someone at the Bureau of Standards and had arranged that West Chester would have 16-hour days next year. I meant to say that Dana has arranged that West Chester will have 28-hour days next year. This will provide nap time for everyone, since the clocks will be rolled back to noon at 4 p.m., and many of us will get to attend panels and other sessions we missed during the first 4-hour period. This time change will also allow everyone to sleep in Sunday morning. I'm sorry about the confusion, but I had spent most of the previous evening and some of the early morning trying to talk Mason down.
And you all thought there was no Sanity Clause.

If it's all the same to Dana Gioia, I'd prefer my extra four hours kick in at 11 am so I have a choice of writing or going back to bed. If I have to re-live every noon-4pm time slot, my allergies are going to go ballistic.
