Last weekend, I made it back to the best place to watch college basketball: Allen Fieldhouse. This time, I brought two Nebraska alumni along to witness the awesomeness that is Allen Fieldhouse. Needless to say, they both walked away with an appreciation for Allen Fieldhouse and those crazy Jayhawk fans. Whether they were swayed to the good side, I am not sure.

Luckily for me and them, I still know some Jayhawks, so we had decent seats compared to where our seats really were, the shadowed area in the corner where people sit the whole game. Lame. . . .

Videos and images go viral on the Internet every day. Most generate laughs and talk for a few days. Today's video making Joseph Kony famous whirled about the Internet via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other such sharing sites, generating buzz for Invisible Children's initiative to end the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda.

Most people pasted the message and video on, noting how sad the situation is and how we need to do something. Like the tweet above, most people were startled to hear about the children being abducted, the women being raped and their leader Kony pushing on regardless of opposition. Kony is leading children to these heinous acts. . . .

A day started across the world, initiated by a Roman and celebrated with cookies from Subway, started and ended like any other day in the Malmberg apartment. My alarm wailed. I hit snooze — multiple times. I drug myself out of bed, went to work, ate pizza, came home, went to Bible study and will drift off to sleep soon.

So what is the point of an extra day? I think a day just for leaping around would be fun, but it turns out that wasn't the reason, even though dancers and gymnasts around the world would give the holiday a nod. . . .

Since my move to Lincoln nine months ago, the switch from celebrating Earth Day every day to searching for a recycling bin reminds me I am not in Kansas anymore — more specifically Lawrence.

I have done some digging online to unearth a few eco-friendly programs happening here in the husker state. A community garden feeds residents with fresh produce, the energy company boasts about ways to save and the government funded a project to create energy-saving homes. . . .

Once every four years, we get to celebrate leap year! Because the Earth takes 365.25 days to travel around the sun, we have to add in that extra day somewhere. So enjoy the extra day of 2012 with trivia. Good luck!

1. What's the name of the society for leap year babies?

2. What rapper was born on Leap Day?

3. What theme park is celebrating Leap Day this year by opening its gates for 24, magical hours? . . .
