593rd post - The leap year

The 29th of February is something that happens only once every 4 years. Even in the other years, February is still the only month that has less than 30 days.

Seemingly coincidental is that the summer Olympics takes place in every leap year, though the event itself is a few months after February. I somehow see the summer Olympics as something more significant than the winter one.

The timing of this summer Olympics signifies how much time has passed. The Beijing and Athens Olympics are still fresh in my mind, but those were in 2008 and 2004 respectively!

This tells me how fast time has passed, and I feel old.
