Quoted:

It was from a Gary Wynn from a Yahoo account, which is sounds like a fake name like Mike Lulls, or something like it.

The text was some lame points about a BBQ etiquette for women that I'll post it if anyone cares. There was no attachment, and I have a web based email account from Att&t, but I'm still a little nervous.

Should I be?

Is there a whole list of names that the e-mail was sent to?
Could it simply be a misspelling of the intended e-mail recipient?

ETA: About the only thing I can think of is, some spammers used to do things like this to verify e-mail accounts before selling a list to someone. But that was back in the early 90s.

Wait a minute.
First you said it was addressed FROM Gary Wynn, now it is TO Gary Winn.
First it was a Yahoo account, now it is a gmail account (that is Google).

Yeah I messed up a couple facts because I was working from memory. I didn't want to open it again cause it was already in my trash file.

WTF,
if it was addressed TO Gary Wynn, did it have your e-mail addy? (is you e-mail addy close to the one on it?).

You could report it to your IP provider (most have some method of reporting spam and junk mail). If they screwed up in sending it to you, they would at least be alerted to the fact.
Can't really see how this could be a virus with no attachment and no script activity--I am assuming you did not see any script activity.
Course, I am not a computer guy, just bored at the moment.
Good luck

it's spam. get over it. no one is targeting you. spam is never sent by real people looking through a list, it's all pulled from databases or randomly generated.
