The briefs

Born on Leap Year Day? Let us know!

Call it curiosity, call it jealousy. We're not sure which, but we are sure we want to hear from you. If you were born on Leap Year Day and have an interesting story to tell about how you celebrate your birthday or how your life is different because of that tiny little correction we need to make in our calendar every four years, let us know. Write up your anecdote and we may consider it for publication. Or, we may call you for an interview, so be sure to give us contact information. Email your story to Kay Long at klong@dailyherald.com.
