I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.

Yesterday was February 29th - Leap Day! The reason we have this monthly extension of our shortest month is to synchronise the Gregorian calendar with the solar year – without it we would lose six hours every year. *Shock2* In your entry today, write about the phenomenon of leap years and any facts you want to share. Here’s mine: People born on Leap Day are called Leaplings. *Laugh* Do you know any Leaplings? How did you spend the bonus hours of 2020? Did you make the most of them?

I won't be able to blog every day. Some prompts will leave me gasping for breath. Others like today... will lead me to read you-all's blogs and comment.

To Apondia Author Icon: "The Baha'i calendar has 19 months of 19 days... with 4 or 5 extra days depending on the year. So... yeah... which planet had Hobbits and when. Earth may have had a slightly longer or shorter year in the distant past. Same with day-length.

Glad you enjoyed the snow. So many people get annoyed by weather... as if their opinion counts! *Laugh*"

To Charlie ~ Author Icon: "I will not post every day. Blogging will fall by the wayside if my travels go belly-up. So, it won't be a 'blue' month. But then again, I'm stressed out right now and blogging... so...

It will be nice to read an occasional blog from you.

Olympics and Presidential elections... Order me a Caesar salad. Put it on Julius' tab. *Laugh*

I'm sure I've met a leapling. Prolly more than one. Some of us have inconvenient birthdays, like my friend Merry, born December 25th."

Maid of the Mist Most Macabre Author Icon's father-in-law is a leapling: "Very interesting portrait you've painted about Bob.

If you were to sit down and interview him I'm certain you could write down some stories. I do wonder what his motivation was each step of the way.

Since 22 is my favorite number... Happy Birthday, Bob! *Cake*"

To Chris Breva Author Icon: "Yep. Just another day.

Mine was spent going to the post-office, bank atm to check my account balances, doing a wash, stressing about my impending trip. Good times? Nah, just chores that needed to be done. Today? Even remembered to pay the rent.

I don't watch wrestling and without a television rarely watch anything at all."

bobturn posted a link to a disturbing story he wrote about an aging leapling:

I responded: "Not fair, I call-out, not fair!

I love quirky prompts. You handled this one well.

I'm old, but as you are well aware... we vampires never tell our true age. *Wink* We have leap decades (when we go to sleep and don't set the alarm...)."
