Leap Year

As you likely know, 2012 is a leap year. That means that today is February 29, a day that only pops up once every four years.  So this year, you have the gift of an extra day to get your years work done.     How Does a Leap Year Work?  Here is a basic explanation. A Gregorian calendar measures the amount of time it takes the earth to revolve around the sun, roughly 365 days. In fact, it takes about 365 days and 6 hours for earth to revolve around the sun. To make up for the extra six hours, we add an extra day to the calendar every four years. So Make it an extra special good day!   Happy Leap Day!!!
