We arrived in Little Rock, Arkansas on Tuesday January 27 and because the weather was really bad (the ice storm was coming through) we decided to get take out and make it a night in at the Motel 6. Dave called his parents while I was watching American Idol. Instead of the usual 8pm time I was watching Idol at 7pm. We could not figure out the reason for this. I thought it was a repeat as I had missed last week but it didn't make sense because it was a Tuesday night. After that, Family Guy and The Office came on and the ad on TBS kept saying that The Office would be on at 10pm for a full hour. Well this still did add up because we were watching it at 9pm. There was no clock in the room or the TV guide channel so I texted my friend Liz to ask her to Google what time it was in Arkansas. As she texted me back I asked the simple and obvious question to Dave, "It's not because of Eastern Standard Time is it?" And then we began to laugh. We had forgotten that this country revolves around EST.

This is going to take some getting used to.
