That was the first program I ever wrote for myself (on an Air Force computer).

Discovered that most didn't correctly count the days of someone born on a leap year but before the leap day.

It showed my wife's and myself were one day apart in our cycles.

We are coming up on our 50th wedding anniversary.

Me, too!

It was one of my first computer programs, ever: Written in BASIC, on about 30-40 punchcards.

It was at that point (in 9th grade) that I realized that the alleged "cycles" probably wouldn't be exact. For instance, if the 23-day physical cycle weren't exactly 23 days long, but actually, say, 23.01 days long, the change would compound over time. Same for the 28-day emotional cycle, and the 33-day intellectual cycle - the slightest deviation would result in a major shift within just a few years.

After all, e.g., menstrual cycles aren't all that regular, either.

Regards,
