Leap On Over Here This February 29th For An Extra 2012 Geo Event At Schlotzsky's Deli

When: 6:30 PM

Why: An extra chance to meet and spend some quality time with some geofriends and score the date on your statistics calendar.

Googling leap year traditions and explanations yields some interesting results: In some countries February 29th is the only day a woman can propose marriage to a man and in the old days if the man refused such a proposal he owed his spurned suitor a silk gown and a kiss — provided she was wearing a red petticoat at the moment she popped the question.....This one's a real hoot! The Civil Code of the Republic of China since 10 October 1929 implies that the legal birthday of a leapling is February 28 in common years: If a period fixed by weeks, months, and years does not commence from the beginning of a week, month, or year, it ends with the ending of the day which precedes the day of the last week, month, or year which corresponds to that on which it began to commence. But if there is no corresponding day in the last month, the period ends with the ending of the last day of the last month.

WooHoo! Now that's what I'm talkin bout, just sayin!

Hey, this get together will be nothing fancy, in fact you're on your own for everything as I don't have any "Extra" money. I will however try to convince the deli that there is an old February 29th tradition of passing out free warm cookies, we'll see how that goes.


If anyone's birthday is today let me know and if ANYBODY has something they would like to say, you'll get a chance around 7:30 PM.
