Media watcher Mark Leccese says February is the month where everything old is new again. 

In his blog post, Oh No, Not This Story Again, which was published on Ground Hog day, Leccese says, "the problem...[is] the media reflexively covering, year after year after year, stories you can predict armed with nothing more than a calendar."

In February that means the same stories as last year on Valentine's Day, The Oscars and the Super Bowl.

Leccese didn't specifically mention the annual excitement around Chinese New Year, Black History Month, President's Day, Spring training (buses leave Fenway on February 8) or my birthday, but I suppose these are annual stories as well.
