Happy "Leap Day," everyone!! I love the idea that this day only occurs once every four years.In 1988, I began writing a journal entry on Leap Day, chronicling the current time and wondering what would happen in the next four years. I've continued the tradition every Leap Day since. It makes for some fun reading each new Leap Year.
As it's Friday, I am including this funny e-mail forward that I received today from my mom.
Enjoy and have a funny "Leap Day"/Friday!
WRONG E-MAIL ADDRESS
A lesson to be learned from typing the wrong e-mail address!
A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.
Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules, so the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel.
There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an e-mail to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her e-mail address, and without realizing his error, sent the email anyway.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack.
The widow decided to check her e-mail expecting messages from relatives and friends.
After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted.
The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: October 16, 2005
I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send e-mails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been checked in. I've seen that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then!!!! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
P.S. Sure is freaking hot down here!!!!

I laughed out loud at the story about the email. It reminds me of the man whose wife had gone to the grocery store and after he finished his work around the house, sat down to watch television while he waited for his wife to come home. They broke into the television program to warn everyone of a wrong-way driver on the interstate. Knowing his wife would soon be passing this way on her drive home, he called her on her cell phone to warn her of the wrong-way driver. "Yeah, there's a wrong-way driver out here alright, in fact, there's hundreds of them!!!"
