Although I think I have California public schools to blame - because I asked around - and I have a girlfriend (a native Californian like me) and she ALSO thought Boston was on Lake Michigan. So there's that.

A depressingly large part of my job is to take phone calls from people who are similarly baffled about time zones. The difference is, they don't seem the least bit embarrassed about it. I always think television should have cleared this up years ago. (Haven't you heard, since childhood, announcers saying things like, "Thursday at 9, 8 Central"?) Apparently that is not the case. <br><br>So don't be so hard on yourself. Plenty of people make the same mistake somehow.

If anyone makes fun of you for not knowing what time it is in Rhode Island, just tell them that Big Green could kick little yellow RI's ass with your hour hand tied behind your back!

I'm fine with it, really. I'm not sure I would have stuck it out even on West Coast time. And for the record, I didn't learn US geography until after college when I tried to fill out a kid's menu at a restaurant and realized I couldn't do it. Skipping around the country in grade school left a few important details out of my education (I totally skipped geography, fractions, and US presidents.)
