Leap Day 2012

***Valandil*** · 02-28-2012, 08:07 PM

Coming tomorrow - February 29, 2012. Once every four years (or so) we add an extra day to the year. Has me thinking of several different things:
* The custom that it's "alright" (socially acceptable) for a woman to ask a man to marry her on Leap Day.
* In a similar vein - "Saddie Hawkin's Day" from the Lil' Abner Musical.

* Tolkien - and all the marvelous calendars he made, with the provision for an extra day at about the summer solstice - the Overlithe!

So... anyone have any special plans for The Overlithe?

Anyway - if anyone asks, or gets asks - be sure to share.

(meanwhile - the next day, March 1 - is Aragorn's birthday!)
