I saw a quote this week that fits me to a T: “Think Outside – No Box Required.” Despite the cruel shoes this winter is stomping us under with, I’ve still been outdoors every spare second I can find – or conjure up. My job often allows me to work after dark, so I can savor light-bearing hours, like manna. In fact, my weekly workloads seem lighter when I mosey back to my desk with mud, snippets of shrubberies and assorted bloodsucking insects on me.

Helping my daylight seeking is this weekend’s return to Daylight Saving Time. Clocks are turned ahead at 2 a.m. Sunday.
