The February 2008 Edition of The Blog Carnival of Virtual Assistant’s
Hello and welcome to the February 10, 2008 Edition of the Carnival of Virtual Assistant’s. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to host this month’s carnival on my blog!
So, what does February bring us?
February brings us Ground Hog Day, Valentines Day, Mardi Gras.
Famous people’s Birthdays Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington
Did you know? February 29, 2008 marks a Leap Day, Leap Year; Sunday on Feb. 29 has occurred only three times from 1900 to 2000: in 1920, 1948 and 1976. After 2004, the next year it will happen is 2032. Happens every 28 years! Leap years are needed so that the calendar is in alignment with the earth’s motion around the sun. This year, February starts and ends on Friday bringing us 5 Fridays in one month!
