It made me think of today, though, arguably a far more interesting day.
I am not sure quite how it is best described, but the pattern was last
matched on the 1st January 1000. It isn't palindromic, as 02/02/2020
will be, which isn't that long to wait [or, for that matter the 10th
February 2001, or even the 11th February 2011]. But shouldn't
numerologist types be worrying about its symmetry anyway?
Anyway, even if it these are dates that you consider as common as muck,
I think it pleasing to have this consequence of the months being modulo
twelve, the days being modulo thirty oneish and it being early in the
century.
Probably the more interesting day this month is the 29th February, which
will be the first leap day at the start of a century since 1600 - I
wonder if anybody knows what was going on then.
Anyway, I think that I will take the 29th off, and have a party, after
all, it has taken four hundred years to accumulate enough time to have
the day, so one might as well take full advantage of it - it is a week
day too, so, if not too many people notice the significance of the day,
it should be an ideal time for a party.

Actually, it will be the first leap day at the end of a century
since 1600.

That's a really good idea. Leap days should be holidays. If
you are being paid by the week, or by the month you don't get paid for
working on Leap Days.

Take a look at a calander. If you get paid by the day then
Leap Days are great. If you get paid by the week, or by the month, or
whatever, then you are working an extra day that you don't get paid
for. Imagine that you get paid by the month (like I do). You get $X
per month, regardless of the number of days in that month. So in
February 1999 you get X/28 dollars per day, but in February 2000 you
get X/29 dollars per day (or X/28 dollars for the first 28 days and 0
dollars for the 29th day). Leap Days should be holidays. :-)
11/19/1999, was the last date with only odd numbers till 11/11/3111.

I think 1/1/3111 comes slightly before that, unless you're only allowing
two-digit day and month numbers, in which case you're correct...

I get paid by the hour anyway, so my opinion does not mean as much. But, I
am still going to share it.
IMO, it does not matter to me if it is a holiday or not, because I will
still have to work. I had to work on Christmas day, on Thanksgiving day, on
New Years day, etc. That is the bad part about working in the radio
industry. Holidays are still workdays.

Actually, I believe that the next all odd date will be 1/1/3111, or
January 1, 3111.
I hate to be picky, but you can't count October or December, they have 1's
in the month, remember (10 & 12).

There will be 9 all even days this month: 2/2/2000, 2/4/2000, 2/6/2000, 2/8/2000,
2/20/2000, 2/22/2000, 2/24/2000, 2/26/2000, and 2/28/2000. There will be another 9
each in April, June, and August (months 4,6, and 8). October and December are months
#10 and 12, which aren't all even (note the "1").
Or, is zero even a number?
Tim and Elizabeth seem to think so.

In fact, there will be 36 all even days in each even year this decade.
The last all even day for 2006 was 5 days ago.

Many date formats require the leading zeros, which are even. I favor the
