Leap Day Every four years, we are given one extra day. One more stretch of hours to do whatever we want with. Use them. Be productive, be lazy, or how about a bit of both. One extra chunk of 24 hrs to fill with kindness and gratitude perhaps. Maybe reach out to someone you maybe haven’t talked to in a long time. Or do something so outside your safe little box of comfort, you’ll remember it forever; really amp up your weird. Skydive nude. Or don’t, it’s your day. Maybe use your bonus day to build something, draw, write twaddle, cross stitch, paint, or do ridiculously difficult origami. Blindfolded. Get crafty. Get sweaty. Get horizontal. Get a tattoo. Get drunk. Get on the road and drive somewhere you’ve never been. Get cultured and visit a gallery or museum or see a play. Eat something you swore you’d never put in your mouth. Do it alone or with your partner in crime. Just don’t let this day slump into the pile of all those other mundane, forgettable, run of the mill days. Today is rare. Use these unique hours with purpose and intent. You can be boring tomorrow. @daily-esprit-descalier  "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey.

Mark this one on your calendar — “bissextile” is a fancy word to describe a leap year. The word “bissextile” comes from Latin, with “bis” meaning “twice” and “sextus” meaning “sixth.” When the calendar reads February 29, the word “sixth” might not make much sense, but under the Julian calendar, the extra day was the sixth day before the beginning of March. We have to add this extra day because the Earth travels around the sun in 365 days and a little bit less than a quarter of a full day. Throughout history, various calendars either eventually lagged behind, or added in extra random dates to catch up. Under the current Gregorian calendar, the extra time is accounted for by inserting an extra day into February in the bissextile year (every four years). Since it is just a hair less than a full quarter of a day, the Gregorian calendar accounts for this with one more rule. Centenary years are bissextile years only if they are divisible by 400. (For example, 2000 had a February 29, but 2100, 2200, and 2300 will not.) Howling at the moon and mal ad osteo.
