Hi, this blog has been upgraded, but I'm leaving the old pages online until the search engines catch up. If you want to join the discussion, this may be the page you're looking for on the new site.
Leap Day
Every four years, there is an extra day, February 29. It's kinda like a bonus. Woo!
When is the last time that you've had a truly free day? A day out of the blue, just tacked on to the end of February? -My guess is that it's been about four years.
I don't know why I haven't thought about this before. I remember being at the bar during Daylight Saving time and partying extra hard, because we "gained an hour." This is way more than an hour, this is a full 24 of 'em... in a row. And, unlike Daylight Saving, nobody is going to steal it back (spring ahead). Yes folks, February 29 is absolutely free-no strings attached.
I am still trying to figure out what I am going to do on Sunday. The obvious choice would be to do something that involves jumping (or leaping, if you will), but I am not obvious (and I'm lazy... jumping sounds like a lot of work).
You should think of something different to do as well. If you read this after the fact, don't feel too bad that you frittered away a free day. Remember there will be another one soon.
