Late afternoon, the day after turning the clocks back, is the hardest for me. On that initial day, I’m not fully confident as to what time it is, but it’s Sunday, apart from the work week’s usual rhythm, so the stakes aren’t that high. I’m disoriented, but who cares? But then it’s Monday at 4 PM and the sky is already turning black, and even though in L.A., the temperatures are in the 70’s, I get a pit in my stomach, like I used to in New York, when real winter was on its way. The next time we’ll see sunset after 5 pm in Southern California is January 9, 2016. Here comes the dark.
