Ah Fridays ...

Flu is still ravaging the ranks.
Sunday stories have to be edited.
There is a shooting near West Forsyth High School.
There is a college student to talk to about her career and the future of journalism (hold your laugh lines...)
Critiques to do. Stories to plan.
And an angry reader has sent in an email complaining about mssing clues in today’s crossword puzzle.

The crossword puzzle is—of course—the last straw. Rome is burning and somebody cares about a missing 9 across clue?. But reader service is reader service, so I dig out the number of our syndicate person who supplies these puzzles and get to it. While I’m talking to him, I look again at the puzzle and realize the answer to this problem and all the other zaniness in the world today.

LEAP YEAR. Thankfully only once every four years.
