My cousin Marilyn is one of the all time nicest people you would ever want to meet! In fact, she’s one in 1461!
She’s a LEAP YEAR BABY...born on February 29 during a leap year. Thus, Marilyn only has a “real” birthday once every 4 years!
I would tell you how old she’s going to be this year, but I know women sometimes feel funny about revealing their ages! I will say she’s within a few years of my age.
There was a great article in Tuesday’s MetroWest Daily News about LEAP YEAR BABIES. One thing I didn’t know is that the birth date February 29 really confuses Departments of Motor Vehicles and many times Leap Year Babies have trouble renewing their driver’s licenses.
I know most of you don’t know my cousin Marilyn PERSONALLY. And I know it might seem really strange to send a birthday greeting to someone you don’t even know; but since she is a Leap Year baby, and only gets a “real” birthday once every 4 years, I thought it would be really cool if she received a whole bunch of HAPPY BIRTHDAY e-mails on or just before FEBRUARY 29.
For obvious reasons I’m not going to tell you Marilyn’s last name (it’s NOT Baril) nor am I going to give you any other personal information, but I will say her e-mail address is
haymarbil@aol.com
Would you do something really nice for a Leap Year baby?
Sometime between now and the evening of Friday, February 29, would you send an e-mail to Marilyn at
Just have the subject say “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” and the message could say something like:
“I’m a friend of Bob Baril’s, wishing you a very Happy Birthday!”
or just
“Happy Birthday!”
I’ll be interested to learn how many Happy Birthday greetings Marilyn receives.
Thanks.
