I, Mark Andrew Pilgrim, being of sound mind and body, and acting in my official capacity as… no one of any consequence, do hereby designate February 29th to be “Vonnegut Day.” The day shall be a vacation away from the busy, busy, busy. It shall be a holiday whose only commandment is to be kind to one another, God damn it. It shall be your chance to take a flying fuck at the mooooooooooooon. And it shall be celebrated on each and every February 29th, because the human race can only stand a vacation like that once every four years.
