Leap Day


I am sitting at my desk, waiting for traffic to die down, because heaven forbid I try to leave work before 3:20. Only one way in and one way out. Who thought of this? I'm excited because I'm going to go the district office to try to change my stauts and get paid for my master's degree that was just conferred...woo hoo!


I am shocked at the number of kids in my classes who didn't know what 'leap day' was. Just to avoid confusion: The year is actually 365 1/4 days long. Not just 365. I think I'll take my leap day in summer next time.


Question: If you could take one day and make it your perfect day, what would you do?

Hi Jill,

Speaking of leap year, did you know that leap year does not occur every fourth year? On the century boundaries, if the year is not evenly divisible by 400 then it is not a leap year. For example, 2000 was a leap year, 1900 wasn't and 2100 won't be. The next leap year on a century boundary won't be until 2400.
Obscure trivia, I know....
