Starting at Day One

Today’s classic A&J is from January, 3, 2017. Yes, it’s that time of year, time for us cheapskates to go calendar shopping! I realize I’m in danger of stereotyping (I live my life in danger of stereotyping.), but in my experience women are more likely to favor a paper calendar than men, for the same reasoning as Arlo’s. It doesn’t matter what happens elsewhere, you write something on a calendar and, Boom! You got it. Men, on the other hand, figure they don’t really need a calendar. Having said that, I have been known to haunt the calendar bin at the book store, looking for a bargain when the demand falls off. I can usually pick up a good deal on something like, “Small and Very Frightened Mammals of the Serengeti.”
