Hey, Tampa Bay. Bailey here. As you may know, it’s a leap year, which means we have an entire extra day to enjoy.

Wake up and smell the…

  • Coffee
  • Bagels
  • Donuts
  • Breakfast sandwiches

Get some afternoon exercise by...

  • Doing a yoga flow at the nearest park
  • Jogging and walking down a local trail

Head to work at...

Is there something else you’d like to see me do? Drop your suggestions at the end of the poll. I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to fit it in, but I promise I’ll try.

Bonus: I’ll report back on Leap Day with an update of everything you chose, and I completed.
