Isn't February Just the Greatest Month?!

First of all just look at that name...the spelling is just off the wall.  It is spelled Feb-ru-ary but pronounced Feb-u-ary.  None of the other months can boast about that.  Did you know that it used to be the last month of the year before it got promoted to the second month?

Then, February is THE month that ends after 28 or 29 days.  All the other months drag on for another two or three days.  The thing about the 29 days only happens every four years which just happens to be this year.  Congratulations it is a Leap Year!

Next are all the really cool happenings and holidays that happen in February.
Ground Hog Day (2nd)
Super Bowl (5th)
Valentine's Day (14th)
Washington's Birthday (22nd)
Lincoln's Birthday (12th)
Mardi Gras (21st)
Ash Wednesday (22nd)
Dump Your Significant Jerk Week (5th through 11th)
Working Naked Day (1st)
Ice Cream For Breakfast Day (4th) 
Curling Is Cool Day (23rd)
Extraterresteral Visitor Day (9th)  no I'm not kidding
Pluto Day (18th)  and as an interesting side note to this Pluto is a Planet Day is celebrated in March.

and my favorite (because my artist, Ronnie who is an SOB, is holding me down, forcing me to type this) February is "Spunky Old Broads" month.

Go enjoy the best month of the year.

Love,
Buddy
