Yes, the rumors are true. Today is my birthday. Join in the movement to get Leap Day added to calendars!

I was pleased to have such a great sunset tonight. This will be a memorable photograph for me.

A few interesting facts about leap year babies...

• there's one per every 1,461 people
• there are 684 per million people
• there are about 200,000 in the United States
• there about about 4 million in the world
• 0.0684% of the world population is made up of Leapers

I'm not registered with The Honor Society of Leap Year Day Babies but, I think it's entertaining.

There's no shortage of articles explaining Leap Year. Leap Day is a colorful day with an interesting history - thanks to Julius Cesar!

I'm posting while TheSpecialOne is napping. Soon it will be time to wake her for a shower, then "dessert".

February 29th, Yes, My Birthday!

The word on the street is that I have a surprise coming for my birthday.

I expect TheSpecialOne to be here in about an hour. She was rather playful when she phoned, right about the time I finished my last post.

She made a point of saying she hoped I enjoyed my appetizer, and that she intended on serving a full meal.

Last night I celebrated with TheRedhead and GiGi. I'd planned to have drinks with one and dinner with the other. As it turned out drinks with GiGi ran long and TheRedhead came early for {our late} dinner. Seeing how well the two of them got along was a treat.

This morning GiGi had to go to rehearsal after we had a good warm up; I went to breakfast with TheRedhead.

Happy Birthday To Me!
