It’s February 29. 
Today is “Leap Day.”  What special thing can you do today that you’ll remember doing four years from now when it’s Leap Day again?

Trivial Fact of the Day: In days of yore, it was uncouth for a lady to ask for a man’s hand in marriage.  Queen Margaret declared in 1288 that on February 29 a single lady had the right to pop the question to any man she liked. Menfolk
could refuse but were expected to give a gift to the female asker.

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “Life is a travelling to the edge of knowledge, then a leap taken.”  --H. D. Lawrence (British author/poet)
Vocabulary Word of the Day:  sparse (adjective) – apply this modifier to nouns that are thinly dispersed or scattered.  Like people with birthdays on “Leap Day,” or…?
