Good Morning, Everyone…I hope this finds you well…
2️⃣9️⃣FEBRUARY 29th…A DATE WHICH WILL LIVE IN INFANCY 2️⃣9️⃣
🎶Each and EVERY DAY of the year…FEBRUARY…you’re my little Valentine…🎶…“Calendar Girl” – Neil Sedaka 1960 http://tinyurl.com/ycyfaeyk
2️⃣9️⃣ He lives out near Grand CANYON, this famous 29,
And yes he has a certain CLOUT…it’s that way by design…
His fellow dates excited, the NATIVE numbers they,
And no one would IMPLY the thought that he works just one day…
It’s been four years since they have met, but he’s not a distraction…
He’s welcome…they’ve saved him a spot…and he’ll LEAP INTO ACTION!2️⃣9️⃣
I can’t help but notice how the woman who’s February 21st is looking at our 29…Forget it, Honey…those long-distance love affairs RAREly work out…
So…February 29th… http://tinyurl.com/462du99b and today we get to enjoy an extra day of David’s wit, coupled with Jeff’s whimsy. We see February on a calendar, and the RARE #29 fitting himself in, since it’s LEAP Year… http://tinyurl.com/jfkabmmw …And knowing that David would of course use the word LEAP as part of the solve, what wrapped this one up for me was the leading nature of our question. That he wasn’t “needed very often” but “always ready to” …He ACTed immediately…the definition of…LEAP INTO ACTION…. http://tinyurl.com/yhmra8jj …And another successful win for the week…making it four to DATE so far…
…And Jeff’s depictions of the various dates? One more comical than the other…You can always COUNT on Jeff to make our DAY…
So…There you have it Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And February 29th?…The date that gets to age only once every four years?…We should all be so lucky… 2️⃣9️⃣🙋🏻♀️
👍🏻 Being the only one NATIVE to the area, and possessing a certain CLOUT, he never tried to IMPLY that he was superior to anyone…but when the situation with the CANYON arose, he knew he needed to LEAP INTO ACTION…👍🏻
👫🏻 They visited the CANYON, enjoyed looking about,
They were the first to enter…they earned themselves some CLOUT…
No way though did they IMPLY that they expected to,
Be catered to…a thought like that not NATIVE to these two
The trip was so exciting…to them the main attraction…
So when the opportunity ‘rose? Why not LEAP INTO ACTION? 👫🏻
2️⃣9️⃣ 29’s around every four years,
And to some he may bring on the cheers…
Yet the whole month is whack,
It’s just hard to keep track…
…But we see him here amongst his peers…2️⃣9️⃣
🤷🏻♀️February a month rather strange,
Where the calendar gets rearranged…
It just comes up days shy…
And if you wonder why?
Blame the Romans…way back in the age…🤷🏻♀️
🗓️ Superstition it did play a part,
The old Romans def took it to heart…
So they juggled with dates,
In effort to create…
What to Caesar would be a new start…🗓️
➕28 days is what the month holds,
Til a fourth year and then it unfolds
That odd extra day,
Thrown into the fray…
But it truly leaves most of us cold… ➕
2️⃣9️⃣But today we just take it in stride,
Our cartoon takes us ‘long for the ride…
As we see that our date,
Is quite pleased with his fate…
And ‘tween 28 and 1 he slides…2️⃣9️⃣
Today is NATIONAL LEAP DAY…Enjoy! 2️⃣9️⃣🙋🏻♀️ http://tinyurl.com/44z5ctp7
Yes, have been thinking about how the word LEAP was going to be used in today’s puzzle. So this semi-idiom just jumped right into my brain when I looked at today’s puzzle. Had a moment or two with CANYON, but still found all the anagrams. Enjoyed the Neil Sedaka song, for sure. Enjoy your Thirsty Thursday, Angela. Terry
Tk you, Terry. Yes, you had to know the word LEAP would be in there. Sedaka? …Talk about camp, right? 2️⃣9️⃣🙋🏻♀️
LIMPY is also a perfectly good word. I had a blind solve but it was hard to LIMP into my correct answer.

Uh…no..🙋🏻♀️

I thought limpy was a word, it’s not really….i was fooled.
Good morning. No problem on the words but drew a blank on the cartoon answer. When I gave up and saw the solution I smiled that it was so simple. Enjoyed the song choice Angela. Did you know that he was a Brooklyn boy from Brighton Beach. Until tomorrow take care.
Good Morning, Paul. Tk you. And yes, it was simple…as long as one kept LEAP in mind. Sedaka, yes…and he graduated from Lincoln High School too. Except for the handful of us who went to Catholic High Schools, my Uncles, brothers, and all my cousins went there too. Have a good one, and take care. 2️⃣9️⃣🙋🏻♀️
Not a Happy Leap Year Day. First the native anagram stumped me, thinking it was inv— ,then having the letters , the cartoon solution also got me. Best wishes to you all. Chuck.
