Good Things About Leap Day

February, the month that gets its lunch money stolen by cooler months every year, gets a tiny comeuppance today. Other benefits:

  • Once every four years, free day of rent
  • Early reminder to vote and watch the Olympics
  • Opportunity to consider that measurement of time does not equal time
  • Slight lengthening of winter prolongs return of allergy season
  • Hilarious ribbing of friends with quaternary birthdays
  • Free donuts at work (only on Fridays)

Oh, dude, I SO want to watch the Olympics. RIGHT NOW.

These free donuts at work you speak of --is this a universal right on Leap Day? If so, I've been missing out...
