time will always slip through

Huh, I guess I am not very good at posting on Leap Day, historically - despite having shared my life with people online for close to three decades now, I only have one Facebook memory on a Leap Day (and not even by me at that, tagged by bitty), and zero public social media or blog posts on a Leap Day AFAICT. (Twitter and Instagram do not make it easy to navigate your archives.) So to make up for that, here's my history of Leap Days as far back as I have any kind of records and/or memories that have persisted to the present day. It will surprise nobody that what I ate made it into the record at least half the time 😁

( memory hole )

2004: It was a Sunday, and I was both performing at Carnegie Hall and meeting noghri's mother for the first time (🔒). (Both our families were meeting because my parents flew out to see me perform! In case anyone wondered why I was an utter harried mess at the time?) There was dim sum and The Lion King on Broadway as well! And then post-concert chocolate cake with mamdvany and elemmire7 and fractalspackle :)

( okay more memory hole )

So I guess that makes today my 12th Leap Day and my first fully-pandemic Leap Day, as 2020 was basically just before it all went to hell. Nothing special planned; need to do a bunch of laundry and write a newsletter and get ready for Saturday's songwriting retreat. I feel like I should hunt down some Quantum Leap and watch a good episode or something.

Any of you all doing anything special today? Have any traditions you observe for Leap Day?
