It’s that time of year again and we switch back to Standard Time here in the States (except for Arizona, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico – they never switched to Daylight Saving Time).
And it is Daylight SAVING Time, the word isn’t plural.
We need to stay with Standard time. The sun will be overhead at Noon.
My dogs and cats won’t be mad at me because they’re hungry tomorrow at 4:00 and they think it’s 5:00 and I tell them to wait until dinner in another hour.

Panna Cotta. I made a panna cotta for dessert for luncheon on Saturday. It was a vanilla panna cotta with an apple cider reduction on top. I served it in some margarita glasses I had on hand.
Harvest Moon. I can hardly believe that September is already halfway over!

Paul Pansini
Paul Pansini loved the excitement of being a firefighter in downtown Manhattan, but his days off meant a great deal, too. Firefighter Pansini, 36, took his son, Paul Jack, now 7, and his twin daughters, Anna and Claire, now 3, everywhere when he was not working. “He was brave enough to even take them to the store,” his wife, Janice, recalled.
Since Sept. 11, the family has, in turn, felt his presence everywhere. “I feel him definitely in my house,” Mrs. Pansini said. The family lives in his childhood home in Tottenville in Staten Island. When they moved there in November 1994, the couple almost tore the century-old house down.
Now she is glad they did not. In Tottenville, they are surrounded by family members who keep his presence strong, including his sister, Loretta Halpert.
Lake George was Firefighter Pansini’s favorite spot in the world. This summer, as Mrs. Pansini packed for their annual vacation to the lake, Claire asked if they were going to meet Daddy there. “I’m blown away by how much they remember him,” Mrs. Pansini said. “I don’t think he knew how much he meant to so many people. He was a very comical person. The love of my life. People keep coming up to me and saying, `I miss him so much.’ ”

Our thoughts and prayers go out every day to Paul’s friends, family, and coworkers at Ten House. Six men were lost that day from that Firehouse.
