5 Things You Need to Know Today: Wednesday, Feb. 29
A potpourri of events and information for folks living in Little Silver and Oceanport.
- Leap Day: Does anyone else think it's weird that we actually have an extra day on the calendar once every four years? Well ladies and gentlemen, for all of us complaining there's never enough time, here it is: a whole bonus day. How shall we spend all those extra minutes? Well, if it's like any other day, time will be sucked up by e-mails, wiping kitchen counters and Facebook.
- Cross it off your list: Looks like getting outside and taking the dog (or yourself) for a walk is one less thing you need to worry about today. The National Weather Service is predicting rain all day, starting after 10 a.m., with temperatures hovering around 44 degrees. Looks like rain through early Thursday, so stop procrastinating and start plowing through all that paperwork on your desk. Um ... I'll be right back.
- Warriors Fever: Never let it be said that I am not a huge basketball fan. Let me rephrase that: While, even after four children playing on organized teams, I don't really understand the game, I am a huge supporter of our local teams. So when I heard both teams in were in playoff games this week, . Go Warriors!
- And They're Off: It's Wednesday and officially time to start planning your weekend. Ladies, if you haven't already picked out what you're wearing to the PTO's Annual Gift Auction this Friday, you need to get cracking. It's being held at the Channel Club in Monmouth Beach on March 2 and doors open at 5:30 p.m. Questions? Call Katie LaPorta at 732-542-1338. I just got a cute new top at Target if you need to borrow something.
