Today is a day that comes but once every four years. Possibly people say that about other things--the Olympics, elections, anniversaries, what have you, but those *dates* come around annual, it's just the events that don't. Today is, as far as I know, the only *day* we don't get every year.
So it's a good day for leaping--a leap of faith, a leap of logic, a game of leapfrog? I think we should try to at least hop a little; even if we don't like it, it's just the one day and then we won't have to do it again for four more years. Seems like something to try, anyway...
