So I went to the mall the other day. I love the store “Calendar Club”, but man, some of the calendars they had were really specific. They had to have had a calendar for a fan of virtually anything. So…since this new year started not too long ago, what’s your 2006 calendar of? Be it a typical wall calendar or a daily one, what/who does it feature? Me, I have a lighthouses wall calendar. Shows wonderful views of scenic lighthouses. Pretty nice. ---

Our wall calendar is Winnie the Pooh - to my shame, it is the Disney version, but not too twee. ---

I have an [Eats, Shoots & Leaves](http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=yS3f9npCDV&isbn=078931309X&gfc=1&itm=1) page-a-day calendar (which unfortunately appears to just be the text of the book split into a paragraph or two per day). Still entertaining. Only Mostly Missus sports the [Foxtrot](http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=yS3f9npCDV&isbn=0740751662&gfc=1&itm=1) daily\*.

Mine is the Gatti di Roma (Cats of Rome) calendar I picked up on my trip to Italy last year. I love the cats just hanging out in the ruins of the Colisseum. At work I have the freebee Nature Conservancy calendar. ---

[QUOTE=Me, I have a lighthouses wall calendar. Shows wonderful views of scenic lighthouses. Pretty nice.[/QUOTE] Wonder if we have the same lighthouses? Ours are midwest (Lake Superior, etc.) We’ve been looking for a cheap kitten (not CAT, kitten!) calendar, but haven’t found one yet. Have a model railroad one and something else in the back room. Also a plain ‘printed off the computer’ one that I tape to the top of the (other) moniter so that when I need to project dates, I don’t have to squint at the calendar on the wall. 'Cuda ---

I have a Dilbert day-by-day calendar for 2006. I’ve been getting one every year since 1996, following a 7-year run of Far Side Off-the-Wall calendars. For the monthly view, every Father’s Day, my wife gets me a calendar with family pictures from the previous year. These run from July through June rather than covering a single numeric calendar year. And we also have a big, plain Staples wall calendar for planning and scheduling and remembering stuff. ---
