Today is Leap Day. Yesterday was my birthday. I thought I'd go ahead and blog about this. Most people who find out that I was born on February 28th comment on the leap year thing. They usually say something about it being a close call or something of that sort.
I can't help thinking though... it wasn't a close call. It was the wrong year. In fact, it was a long shot. Almost everyone I know was a lot closer to being born on leap year than I was. I am 730 days away from leap year either way around the calendar you go. Also, I was born around eleven in the evening, so there are only two hours were one can get farther from being a leap year baby. I guess in that way one can comment on something about my birthday that is somewhat special.
