Leap Over Yourself / The Day That Doesn't Count?
Today, the Wesley Singers had our pre-tour performance at a small country church in Newport, VA. The people treated us nice, and we sounded great, in my opinion. There are still a couple of rough spots, but we'll be ready in time for the start of Tour on Friday. There was one lady at the church who was celebrating her 23rd birthday today. She was 92.
On that note, Happy Leap Day, kids! I couldn't pass up the opportunity to post on such a rare occasion. You know, of course, that February 29 only comes once every four years, but there are a couple of other rules, too. For instance, years ending in 00 are only a leap year if they're divisible by 400. I was not aware of this; sometimes I think people make it up. (It's a conspiracy! We never landed on the moon or sailed around the world, either!)
Sorry, I'm back now. I actually think that the people in the 1500's that finally perfected the calendar we have today did an outstanding job at being accurate, especially considering the tools they had to work with back then. As it turns out, we'll still have a day of error in another 2,000 years. So what then? Will we get two Leap Days? Awesome. There are lots of facts and interesting stuff here, along with some postcards with Santa on the beach with a surfboard. Weird.
Have a GREAT time on tour. I wish I were going!!! (No, in case you're wondering...eight tours wasn't enough...)
