Leaps and Bounds

Every four years something really special happens and it's not the US presidential elections. No, we're talking Leap Year—the practice of inserting an extra day into the calendar every four years in order to correct "astronomical drift." Why not take this opportunity to correct your own "astronomical drift"? These next two weeks we'll be exploring the idea of picking up new hobbies or learning new skills—like jumping headlong into an upcycling adventure or dumpster diving in Ridgefield, Connecticut for instance. It's never too late to take a few new leaps and bounds (and dives for that matter). Join us!
