Leap Year Day

Post by BlueChair »

Sunday, as many of you know, is leap year day, February 29th.

I'm trying to figure out what I can do that will make the day interesting. I hope to start a tradition of doing a certain activity or set of activities every leap year day. That way it gives you something to look forward to every four years.
This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.

I wanted to do something bizarre for my kids on the last Leap Day, but they all woke up with a stomach virus, so it wasn't really fun for them. Or for me either, really, but it certainly qualified as bizarre. or maybe surreal. more barfers than commodes.

I remember planning it as sort of a backwards day--dinner for breakfast, dessert for meals, meals for desserts, and if I remember right there was a marathon of Quantum Leap on Sci-Fi. Lame, yes.

Polar bear club?
Like me, the "g" is silent.

There are times when leap years are 8 years apart. I can't really remember but it is something like years that end in zero that are divisible by 400 but not by something....oh crap it has been to long I can't recall. But it is because it actually take the earth 365 point 2 days or so to circle the sun so they have to add a day to make the seasons line up with the calendar. Eventually we get to far ahead and have to skip a leap year.
