    February is a strange month.

    You’ve made it through the January blues, just about hanging on until payday.

    Then February rocks up and the December good times disappear even further into the rearview mirror.

    You could call it the Monday or maybe early Tuesday morning of the months.

    At least we have good weather in South Africa. The same cannot be said for St Louis, Missouri, which is where we are headed for today’s Throwback Thursday.

    Suck it, Monday through Wednesday.

    Pretty much every February, reporter Kevin Killeen’s 2016 ode to the month goes viral again.

    Killeen’s daily “Whole ‘nother Story” segment that day was one for the ages:

    When Kevin said, “Something great happened here but it’s over with,” I felt that.

    This year, multiple videos with more than two million views a pop have spread on social media, which prompted The Guardian to reach out to him:

    The segment was a “throwaway piece”, Killeen [said], done spur of the moment back in 2016 and largely forgotten. But the video keeps getting rediscovered every February, thrusting the reporter into the spotlight and making him feel, he said, “like Jack and the beanstalk”.

    “At first it’s like someone singing happy birthday to you because everybody loves you,” Killeen said of the experience of going viral. “But then if they keep singing happy birthday all weekend and you’re like, stop it already.”

    Here’s a man done with his 15 minutes of fame and then bang, another year goes by and he’s back in the firing line.

    When pressed on if there’s a month that can’t be trusted, Killeen answered, “December, with all the vanities of the holiday season.”

    I don’t trust it, but I long for it.
