To begin this new week not dour,
Join the others, at the tenth hour:
Donuts, Bagels, Coffee! find,
at the lounge, and start your mind.

Time(ly) News: Sunday marked the change from Daylight Savings to Standard, so
we are back on EST.  If you forgot to reset your clocks, they are now one
hour too fast; visit http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/what.html for official time.

Surprising News:  The usually erratic "GRC-Time" (shown by the Physical-Plant
controlled ubiquitous wallclocks) is within one second (!) of the US Naval
Observatory's Master Clock, as observed at 12:22 on Sunday.  However, our
local computer time, according to the USNO, is about 56 +/- 1 seconds fast.
