bisextile day

As predicted we woke up to a morning of heavy rainfall. Listening to NPR in bed I learned a new word. Look it up.

Several weeks ago we bought advance tickets to the "Passion" movie for this afternoon. Someone from our church was organizing a group expedition there. At the time I hadn't yet heard about the amount of violence in the movie. Now I am feeling a little squeamish. If I am able to sit through it I may offer up a few comments later.

You only heard it on the radio, but when I went to look it up, I discovered it was spelled bissextile. This might give it away, but did you know that someone born on bissextile day is a leapling? Check it out at Word Spy http://www.wordspy.com/ (It's the featured word today, but you will have to do a search if you go to his site a different day.)

oops. I should have looked it up myself. And it was not in my spell-checker. It is pronounced the same way though

It's also the day when single women can ask single men to marry them.
