Leap!
b"It is leap year, but I am not leaping from my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair, because I have found that I don't bounce nearly as well as I used to. That's such an athletic word...leap. It suggests a finely muscled athlete... perhaps in a leotard...soaring into the air. I don't mind doing the soaring, but I don't like being sore, so it's the crashing back to the ground that sometimes bothers me."
