2024 Leap Year

Today's the day that comes around almost every four years. According to Wikipedia: "Every year that is exactly divisible by four is a leap year, except for years that are exactly divisible by 100, but these centurial years are leap years if they are exactly divisible by 400. For example, the years 1700, 1800, and 1900 are not leap years, but the years 1600 and 2000 are."

I had a Creative Writing teacher in high school who was born on Leap Day. I wonder whether the people born on Leap Day celebrate their birthday on February 28 or March 1.

In any case, hope this day will be a good day for all of you. These are the same frogs I drew for FanX; I put them on button pins and fridge magnets, and they sold moderately well.

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

Good luck to you all, and may you get kissed rather than pinched!

Terence looks good in green, don't he?

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

Why do we go green?
‘Tis the funniest scene
That you ever had seen
We be as green
As a lime jellybean
Though ‘tis quite mean
To go and demean
Those not garbed in green

I myself ain’t so keen
To strut like a queen
I feel rather unclean
When I see my green

I had a green spleen
From the day of thirteen
Till the day of nineteen
So had my best friend Dean
And my half-sister Jean
Who just turned seventeen
Jean loves a good green bean
But keep her away from caffeine

My parrot loves to preen
He’s a regular preen machine
My second cousin Irene
Appears unusually lean
She stirs up quite a scene
Every Halloween
Quite a frightful figurine
If you know what I mean

That’s our regular routine
To go around in green
Now I should head off-screen
Before I cause another scene!
