On this fine February 29th, I find myself wondering what about February 29th is so much better than all the alternatives? We could have a December 32nd. Kids could have an extra day of summer vacation, once every four years (although knowing schools today they’d just make them go back a day earlier). We could have 24 extra hours of sleep, on 24 selected Sundays, making those Mondays a little easier on the working stiff. We could have a special day number 0 — now that would be fun.
February is already special because it is so short, we should distribute something cool to the other months so they don’t feel left out.
