So... what do we have... 35 years (12,775 days) plus 8 leap days
plus 1 additional day equals 12,784 days (ohhhhhh so clooooose).
In seconds that'd be ... 12,874 days x 86,400 seconds/day or
,112,313,600 seconds (1.1+ billion seconds).  Just think, you
celebrated you're billionth second together 112M seconds ago...
which is approximately 3.5 years ago!  Or at about 31.5 years into
marraige.  But that one probably slipped right by.

Congrats on your 1.1+ billionth second brother Avery.
Way to go!

Me:
Ummm...  I was with you up until you started in on the seconds, there Dude. 
;-)  You forgot to take into account the time LOST every year due to the
gradual decay of the Earth's orbit.  I haven't the figures right here in from
of me, but it MIGHT total to a full second, give or take a
nanosecord...  ;-p

At any rate, the addition of a day every four years doesn't totally
*justify* our calendar.  There is still a minute or so that isn't used up.
I'm not quite certain, but every few hundred years or so, they would have to
add ANOTHER day to be totally correct.  Why, if they didn't, in a few
hundred thousand millinia, we might celebrate the Sabbath on the WRONG DAY.
;->

I was praying about this list the other day and the Lord let me know that
there is something I need to address here.  It of course came as NO SURPRISE
to me then to come home and find that I had been *signed on again* without my
having to lift a Litteral finger.  ;->  I don't know what it is God wants me
to do yet, but for the mean time  <silence that deafens the hearer; pregnancy
in the air that weighs one like a hot, damp blanket; air so thick it must be
forced from the lungs>

I'M BAAAaaaaaaaCK...
