My family at home has to deal with all the changes, though.

There was a time – before my wife died – that we had a lot of clocks and watches. I counted well over a dozen that I had to reset twice a year. Now I’m down to two watches, one clock in the apartment and one in the car.

I have a watch---somewhere. I bought it when I flew back to the coast for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary, and haven't worn it since.

I generally go by "rig time"-- whatever time zone I am in, and translate that to "home", "the folks' time", or "office time" as needed.

When I am working, I am working, when I am not, I am not.

There are two clocks on the wall at home and an assortment of alarm clocks, but those fall under my wife's purview--unless I am at home when the "change" happens. Generally, I am blessed with not having to pay all that much attention to a clock.

I am sorry to hear about your wife, the world is a poorer place for the loss of a good woman.
