2010 Already?


Look what's available at Amazon! Tear the page off each day and store it carefully in a helium-filled tank, for a lifetime of memories!
The extra content on back of each page includes riddles, puzzles, inspiring quotes, daily facts, useful tips for all professions, your lucky numbers, first lessons in Italian, directions for constructing your own trebuchet, addresses & phone numbers of celebrities, the full text of Proust's A Remembrance of Things Past, funnier cartoons by better cartoonists and Messages from the Future supplied by John Glynn. And it's also being offered as a six-page-a-day calendar for those of you with busy lives, or who just like to waste paper.

    "A funnier cartoons by better cartoonists"? You need to decide between singular and plural.

    Ooo! I cannot wait to put this on my desk at work, but I'm guessing I should wait until 2010 to tear off the pages. Now that I'm not teaching preschoolers it is actually fun to be reminded of them every once in a while, though some of the adults I work with manage to do that very well.

    I saw it in Borders on L St today. Didn't buy it yet as I figured I could embarrass you by buying it when you're with me and then loudly proclaiming that I'm standing there with the cartoonist

    Well, as long as there are beginning lessons in Italian, I guess I can pony up for one (or two or three...)
