I have 2, the one in my office is a Yellowstone National Park calendar. Wife and I are going there in September. The calendar in my garage is from EBC Brake products. My mechanic gives away the calendars supplied to him by vendors. I always get one with cool cars. ---

I was gifted with a Grumpy Cat calendar. January is captioned, “A fresh start to a year of frowns.” > [@RioRico](#): > > Her pretty little desk calendar shows Japanese wooblocks. I would like to see the wooblocks! They sound real cute. 😃 ---

No wall calendar, but my Mom always gives me a Dilbert page-a-day desk calendar for Christmas every year. ---

I don’t use one personally, but we have one in the kitchen. That one is from Guide Dogs for the Blind in San Rafael, and has lots of cute guide dog puppies. The other in my wife’s office is from the real estate agent we used to buy our house 23 years ago. It has generic landscapes. ---

My one-a-day Cat Shaming calendar, for the second year running, is hugely popular with my patients. Last year’s was the only one-a-day I’ve _ever_ had where I’ve torn off the days after…say, January 7th. ---

Which one? I have nine (!) at work, plus one at home. My home calendar is one that the nearby comic book store prints every year; it’s a poster with the entire year at a glance on it. Three of my work calendars are page-a-month, which I use for last month, this month, and next month; a government “standard” calendar, a Simpsons calendar, and a Futurama calendar, respectively. I also have four page-a-day calendars; trivia, Simpsons, Atlas Obscura, and one that lists the obscure holidays on every day (is there a National Straight Dope Day?). The other two are a government-issue weekly appointment book, and a copy of the three-year calendar page from the government page-a-month one so I can have all of 2020 visible at a glance. ---

I’ve usually gotten wall calendars from various trade shows in the financial markets, usually cityscapes of Singapore or New York or the like. In 2019, I got to zero trade shows and thus don’t have a wall calendar. I got my usual New York Times crossword puzzle a day calendar as a day by day calendar. Two of the puzzles have missing clues, I’m hoping the rest of the year is better. ---

Like so many of you all, mostly I have cats. Last year I had a non-cat one with Maxine which I loved. (Favorite Maxine saying: Everyone is entitled to my opinion.) I couldn’t find her this year so got more cats. One of them has sleeping kittens on it. I know it’s hokey as hell but I love it. (At least it doesn’t have poems on it, **Tamerlane**.) ---

It’s national parks, but the pictures are copies of very old ads for those parks. ---

The _Everyday Q&A Trivia Calendar_ – a joint Kickstarter venture between the Trivial Warfare podcast and The Inkling play-by-mail trivia game. In its developmental stage, people were invited to submit questions. After vetting, they used a large number of these – mine included. When I received my calendar in the mail, I flip-book shuffled through it quickly, looking for my name in the contributor spot. I found it in mid-October, proudly read my question, had my answer come to mind, flipped the page to check my answer… …and got it wrong. ---

Finally, I received my third calendar(s) of the year. 1. One from the auto repair shop; this one gets written in & tossed at the end of the year. 2. One that was sold & has one of my photos in it. 3. One of my best 13 (12 + cover); had it narrowed down to almost finished but then went out & got some really good shots on & around Christmas so had to go back to the drawing board a bit to both make additional choices & reorder months. This one gets hung up. I got multiple made; one for me & a couple that I give to others. ---

We have so much going on, and no online/digital calendar (we _should_ do a google calendar thing, but’ve never gotten around to it). So EVERY little thing has to get put on the kitchen wall, color-coded with start/end times… or we’ll accidentally double-book Tuesday night. We just get whichever calendar has nice big blank squares. Luckily, our extra-large Ansel Adams calendar looks good while fulfilling that function. (Every time we buy a different one, it goes up on the wall from 12/31 to 1/2, then the wife or I always say “Can you pick up an Ansel Adams calendar today?”) ---
