Leap Day

Leap Day is a funny thing.  Here are the ways to calculate whether or not it is a leap year:

In the Gregorian calendar 3 criteria must be met to be a leap year:

  • The year is evenly divisible by 4;
  • If the year can be evenly divided by 100, it is NOT a leap year, unless;
  • The year is also evenly divisible by 400. Then it is a leap year
Did you know that fact of when it is not a leap year....but seems like it should be?  I heard about it just a few years ago, but still had to look it up today because it is not an often recognized detail by many.  

It boggles my brain a bit.  So instead of dividing by 576 different numbers, I will just join in on the silliness of the day and share a fun song to fill you with laughter and joy (as well as give recognition to a life lost:  Davy Jones of The Monkees).  This was my favorite song of The Monkees.  I love listening to their laughter and bantering during this song.  Honestly, I enjoy listening to it more than watching the video.
