Friday is Feb. 29 — Leap Year Friday.
Is it a special moment in your family or at work?
Let us know. Email me ASAP (tfranko@vindy.com) if you want to be part of a Vindy story, or you can squeal on someone affected by Leap Year and pass along their name.

All this stuff aside, send us some names of people celebrating their birthdays on Friday, or doing other strange things that day. Tax day should be Feb. 29.
