Ways leap years impact my life:

1. Convenient way to remember presidential election years.

2. Christmas moves ahead two weekdays instead of one. (Still grumpy we’re missing Saturday Christmas.)

3. That’s really it. It’s kind of fun, I guess? A novelty to talk about at the end of February every four years. I don’t really understand how we ended up with seven months of 31 days, four months of 30 days, and one of 28 days to begin with. Why not five months of 31 days and seven months of 30 days? Even better, why not twelve months of 30 days and then a five day (six on leap years!) mandatory vacation at the end of the year? I’d vote for it.
