What to Do with that Extra Hour

This Saturday, the government offers its annual fall present of an extra hour's sleep. (For the uninformed, Daylight Saving Time ends at 2am on November 1, giving Ohioans an extra hour to do with what they may.) If you haven't already decided what to do with this windfall of time, here are some ideas:

• Go for a hike along one of the miles of trails in the Cleveland Metroparks. The leaves are just at their lovliest.
• Start a novel, maybe one by a Northeast Ohio author, such as Les Roberts or Casey Daniels.
• Dig out those holiday cards you bought on sale last year after Christmas and start addressing the envelopes. (It's always more fun when you start early.)
• Take a walking tour of one of Cleveland's many interesting neighborhoods, such as Little Italy or Asiatown.
• Learn a little Cleveland history at picturesque Lake View Cemetery
• Finish up on your yard chores; winter will soon be upon us.
• Linger over coffee and the New York Times (parent company to About.com) at one of Cleveland's many coffeeshops.
