Gift Giving Guy

I enjoy the gift of time. Today I received one more second on my birthday. To keep measured time in sync with a slowing Earth rotation, we experienced a one-second pause, a leap second. That pause in time occurred between 5:59:59 p.m. and 6 p.m. Central. I spent my leap second while I was documenting a quote toward the end of the NBC news. After a couple of DVR replays, here’s the story.

“There is also word that one of the best selling gifts this holiday season was the old-fashioned piggy bank. Stores say there was strong demand for coin banks as we go from a nation of spenders to savers.”

So we can give gifts of time — and even gifts that reflect the times.

Happy New Year!
