As always, March came in like a lion…
… and went out like a lamb.

Frolicking 101
Hey, you must be the new kid! (See, that’s a joke, because you’re a OK never mind). Anyway, you look a little confused, so let me instruct you in the finer points of frolicking. First, you pick a home base. Very important to have a home base. Next, you get up, run back and forth like a maniac, bounce a little, then go back to home base. You getting any of this, kid? Am I getting through to you?

Leapin’ Lambs!
Today is Leap Day, a day most rare, when leaping lambies fill the air
Their bleat is strong, their bounce is stronger, glad this year is one day longer
Every four years, or sometimes eight, we add a day so we’re not late
(We humans think Time’s so precise. It’s actually sloppy, ain’t that nice?)
So sing and dance! Kick up your heels! Eat all the food! Feel all the feels!
Do the things that you love best, for this day’s rarer than the rest.

“… now, if we reticulate the splines across the Z axis, we can observe exponentially harmonicated variations in… excuse me, did someone just say ‘ba-a-a-a’? Please, I must ask that there be no disruptions in class, thank you.
“As I was saying, the hypotenuse of the cross-quadrant tri-lateral equations may be reconciled into a single self-referencing logarithmic matrix… all right, I distinctly heard someone say ‘ba-a-a-a’ again! I must insist that these disruptions cease!
“And in conclusion, the positive factorials in each of these matrices may be plotted as a series of circles around a central axis, producing a sphere, or as it is also known… Yes, that’s right, a ‘ba-a-a-al’. Thank you, whoever said that.”
