Today would have been Frederic’s 39th birthday.

Happy Leap Day!

In honor of the day I thought I’d share a song from one of my favorite musicals. :D

“For some ridiculous reason, to which, however, I’ve no desire to be disloyal, some person in authority, I don’t know who, very likely the Astronomer Royal, has decided that, although for such a beastly month as February, twenty-eight days as a rule are plenty, one year in every four his days shall be reckoned as nine and twenty. Through some singular coincidence – I shouldn’t be surprised if it were owing to the agency of an ill-natured fairy – You are the victim of this clumsy arrangement, having been born in leap-year, on the twenty-ninth of February; and so, by a simple arithmetical process, you’ll easily discover, that though you’ve lived twenty-one years, yet, if we go by birthdays, you’re only five and a little bit over!”

I hope you each have a fantabulous day!
