do the math

I wonder how long it's been since we had five Sundays in February? How long will it be before it happens again? I've been trying to do the math in my head, which is somewhat like taking a knife to a gunfight. February only has enough days for five Sundays in leap years. And I figure six of those years will have five of some other day. So four times seven is 28, or once every 28 years we should get a five-Sunday February.

HOWEVER, and there always seems to be a however, I wonder if it will be that simple. If I had a 1976 calendar, I could look it up. Even a 2032 calendar might work, but I haven't seen any in the stores yet. By the time another five-Sunday February rolls around, I will be going on 99, and I doubt that I will give a hoot how many Sundays February has.

While I am wondering about things that don't make any difference anyway. . . What is the plural possessive of business? Plural would be businesses, so maybe plural possessive is businesses' or businesses's or (more fun) businesseses. It's kind of like spelling banana, the trick is knowing when to stop.
