Gardening may not be my special talent, but the variety of life skills on the IBB staff is mind boggling.  Head housekeeper Kelsi is the overseer of a wildlife refuge in her home.  At any given time, she houses no less than 5 dogs, 3 children (this includes her husband), a lizard, a spider, and a cat.  I wonder if this assortment is why she says she loves coming to work every day?  Karen, our fearless leader, is like a computer with so many browser tabs open at the same time it’s a wonder she doesn’t explode.  Multi-tasking is her middle name, though we all thought it was Commander-In-Chief.  Diana is a Disney princess in her soul and will someday, with a bippity-boppity-boo, find her glass slipper and Prince Charming, hopefully at the same time. Kasey is a very Zen Mr. Miyagi who stays calm and composed under pressure. She’s leading the group meditation for the staff next weekend before our first wine tasting of the season. 

Julius Caesar was the originator of Leap Year, based on the math calculations that a calendar year is 365.242 days, so every 4^th year adds up to 366 because of the extra percentage we don’t count on the other 3.  Raise your hand if you feel cheated out of that .242 of a day on those 3 odd years?  What could we accomplish with that time?  Would it equal the same amount of extra sleep I try to steal every morning by hitting the snooze button? And if the funky math and missing minutes wasn’t confusing enough, did you know that February is one of the most misspelled words in the English language?  It ranks right up there with island and opossum. These are the kind of conundrums and deep thinking that the IBB staff ponders every day like we’re scientists on the Big Bang Theory.  The answers to all of life’s big questions to be announced…
