This year’s shortest month on the calendar is the longest it’s been in four years. It’s a Leap year. February will stretch to twenty-nine days. Through the years, the number of days in February has varied. At one point, it was as brief as twenty-three days. Now, February has twenty-eight days and begins on the same day of the week as March and November - except in leap years. Leap year - kind of an unusual name for a block of time. Ever wonder why this particular block of time bears that title?
