It's February 29th...that's something we only get to say once every 4 years. That's right, it's Leap Day and I feel bad for all the babies around the world who will be born today. They can either choose to celebrate their birthdays on Feb 28 or March 1, or they can only have birthdays every four years. If they choose the latter, then they would be alive for 84 years before technically reaching their 21st Birthday. Not a bad way to stay young I guess.

Update from Haiti. Aristide has fled the country and will soon be replaced by another regime just waiting to be overthrown.

Today I'm going to New Jersey to visit some family members and (gasp) might not be home in time to catch the beginning of the Academy Awards. Oh well, that's what VCRs are for. After all, can't miss Billy Crystal's opening monologue.
