Life gets in the way of internet. I hope things are all right with you.
(Am I right in thinking that it's Hebrew calendar New Year now? Best wishes for your year! May it be a hundred times better than the one just past.)
It is, thank you! Even ten times would be an improvement. And it wouldn't be so bad if it spilled over to most of the people I know, either.
The Vietnamese intercalary month isn't always summer - it depends of the times (of solstices etc) and the seasons (the old seasons, which I don't even know the names of, but along the lines of summer, winter etc, but with more of them).
That is extremely cool. I like the idea of a month that shifts through the year. Calendars are wonderful.
(Are you reading Yoon Ha Lee's Machineries of Empire—Ninefox Gambit (2016), Raven Stratagem (2017)? I ask because of calendars.)
