Superman's Birthday
Today is February 29th. That is, as everyone knows, it is Superman's birthday.
Here in Bucharest, it's been a warm and sunny day. Very warm and very sunny. In fact... I don't dare use the S-word. But I'll live dangerously, and say that it was very spring-like.
This comes after several days of warm and damp weather, which has washed away the last of the snow and brought tiny green buds to the tips of the trees. This morning we walked past a street vendor who was selling flowers, and we noticed bees buzzing around his blooms. The last couple of nights have been foggy, and in the evening we've heard the doves calling to each other. It's been sun and cloud, sun and cloud; in the street outside our house, Alan has been jumping into puddles with his yellow rubber boots, SPLASH.
It's almost like... an extended period of warm weather.

Happy martisor!!
Yes, but ISTR Clark Kent celebrates a more conventional birthdate, both out of respect to his adopted family and maintaining the distinction in the popular mind between the two personas.
But I can't recall Kent's birthday ...
I _used_ to be good at that sort of thing.
