My grandmother had a friend born on a leap day. She would give her age in number of leap days celebrated. I thought it was hilarious as a kid.
Like the quote it’s not the number of years lived but the life within those years. Same with days. Moments of being present are so much more important.
The years/birthdays distinction was a plot point in The Pirates of Penzance, you may recall.
Haven’t seen it. Now I feel like I should.
Will watch
I watched it. My personal opinion is that you could happily live your life skipping it.
The trailer makes it look like a wild ride
Are you talking about the 1983 film adaptation? That was pretty good.
I think the trailer I watched was for the 1980 tv movie. I’ve just started the 1983 film. Both have Kevin Kline in them. How many versions are there?!
