If you\u2019ve been following along lately, you know that this year I\u2019ve tried to be positive and not get \u201cdown\u201d on my least favorite month \u2014 February. You\u2019ll notice from the last few entries, I haven\u2019t missed many opportunities to celebrate\u2026. doing my best to lift my spirits and look more favorably on the month of February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most years I\u2019d be done with February and feeling pretty good about March finally arriving \u2014 which, in my mind, is kind of the unofficial start of spring. But this year is leap year and here we are still in February. But luckily, this last day of February just happens to be the last Saturday in February. And we all know what that means \u2014 all together now, \u201cIt\u2019s OTBN!!!\u201d Yep, one of my favorite nights. I won\u2019t bother to describe OTBN yet again \u2014 you can check the past blog entries if you don\u2019t know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We started this tradition in February of 2007 and last February made 12 years ( and 144 bottles of wine.) Since then we hit another milestone when we celebrated OTBN CL with the 150th bottle. So tonight we complete year 13 \u2014 what better way to celebrate this extra day of my (still) least favorite month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fact that February 29 happens to fall on a Saturday makes this OTBN celebration even more special \u2014 and unique. The next time we\u2019ll be able to celebrate OTBN on February 29th will be in the year 2048. So hopefully, one of you younger faithful readers will remember and celebrate OTBN MMXLVIII for us. Goodbye February, hello March.
