Some people have asked, what is the point of this? It is funny and sounds like a good idea, but what are you hoping to get out of this? Well, I will be perfectly honest with you (something that doesn't seem to happen much around election time). I would like the simple things in life, namely: fame and fortune (and maybe early retirement thrown in there too).
You see, I want you to like this idea. I want you to support it through the purchase of t-shirts, bumper stickers, and mugs. I will then take a small profit from those purchases in an attempt to achieve my goals, leaving you with corny merchandise that will not be valid again for another 4 years. How is that for honesty?
All right, so I realize that fame and fortune are not all that likely. So at least, I am hoping for some level of recognition. You see, my wife isn't too happy that I spent a few late nights a little while ago putting all of this together. The more people that I can say checked out the website, or posted replies to the blog, the better. At least then she will think that all of the time that I spent on this wasn't all for nothing. She seems to be holding some kind of grudge, because as far as I know, she hasn't even looked at the site yet. Of course, if you know me, you know that I probably screwed up in some other way that I am not aware of that has her angry at me. But getting some recognition from the site couldn't hurt.

I can't believe you would diss me on the official national leap day site. I am busy. I am not secretly angry at you or mad at your website. I am just busy. I could use a day off. I think it is a great idea. Why don't you email it to my boss!!
Hey angry wife,
This is a wife with too much time on her hands - I have teenagers, if you think you have it rough wait till your child(ren) get older. You get no sleep at all and no appreciation. I think National Leap Day is a great idea - I wish I'd thought of it. Maybe I could round up a few of my closest friends and start a rally on the mall in DC. Maybe....a speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial ...or we could parachute over the Washington Monument with a huge sign ... OR we could have 100s of people 'leaping' around (get it?) on the mall. Hmm, you're on to something. How do I get back to the man with the plan?
Wendy,
You can reach the 'man with the plan' at NationalLeapDay@gmail.com.
