2020 is a leap year. We asked mattgallowaycbc, the new host of CBC's 'The Current', what he'd do with his extra day:
He would make plans to see what happens I’ve spent the last 10 years waking up before 3 a.m. and I’m perpetually jet-lagged. So the obvious thing would be to say, I’m going to spend that day sleeping. But I’m not really that kind of person.
I read this thing in the summer that I keep going back to. It was a piece in the New York Times: “You are doing something important when you aren’t doing anything.” It’s about this idea of a field being fallow. It’s not unusual for people to want time not to do anything, but [the piece] is not about not doing anything. It’s about the idea that if you’re doing things that are spontaneous or not prescribed, you’re doing lots. I work in a situation where our shows are measured in seconds.
I could spend the day baking. I could bake bread all day. Nothing would make me happier. It’s not like I would run away from my family. We would do all this stuff together; that would be the really great thing. We’re always busy. We’re being pulled apart in a million different directions. So this would be en masse, with the crew.
