Odds and ends, 2/29/08

Happy Leap Day, everybody.

On the sports front in today's The Herald-Dispatch, there is a photo of a girl's basketball team. The team has 10 members. Four of them have the same first name, but it's spelled four different ways: Katelyn, Katelynn, Caitlin and Catelyn.

Back in my days, half the girls were named Debbie, and the question was always whether it was Debra or Deborah. And sometimes I wonder if the names Roger and Gary are headed to extinction, or if they will be revived by a future generation.

That's enough.
