I put my new calendar upon my cubicle wall and this is the photo for January. My cutie!
After Thanksgiving a year and more ago, we took a drive down to Oregon to start US 97 across Washington. In the gorge, we stopped near Multnomah Falls, but went to Wahkeena Falls instead. This is from that short hike.
Bonus photo, from the cover of my calendar:
From Huangshan...
My, that water's cold, eh?
I flip over my calendar at work to December, and this is the photo I'm greeted with. I can't stop smiling!
On my calendar this month is this lovely photo from a long, long time ago (last year), on our Fourth of July tour of eastern Washington (and Highways 22 and 23).
Happy sunny days...
In Alex Trebek's second episode as the host of Jeopardy!, all three contestants missed the Final Jeopardy! question and the game ended in a 0-0-0 tie.
The Final Jeopardy! answer was: "Calendar date with which the 20th century began."
All three contestants bet all their money and gave the same question: "What is January 1, 1900?"
Alex: Oh, boy. What... I'm at a loss for words in a situation like this. [whistles] Hey folks, easy come, easy go. Because all of our contestants wound up with nothing, we have consolation prizes for each of them. Tomorrow on Jeopardy!, we'll be bringing in three new players to play the game...
Voices offstage: The answer!
Alex: You mean, "What is the question?" The question is "What is January 1, 1901?"
I don't know why I ever stopped posting each month's photo from my calendar of Chunlin...
She's just so cute!
It's from last Labor Day weekend, at Soap Lake.
Where, oh where has my summer gone?
It's autumn now, or so it seems.
Where, oh where has my summer gone?
Winter is just around the corner.
Where, oh where has my summer gone?
Little went as planned.
Where, oh where has my summer gone?
There's always next year...
Summer is finally here. Can't you tell? I know Seattle still has cold, gray skies and the weatherman is calling the month Junuary, but it's summer now!
Huzzah!
I glance at my calendar, and what do I see upon the 14th?
"Daylight Savings Begins"!!!
Why, oh Imperial Overlords, why?? Why must you torture us like so?
On the calendars I gave out for Christmas, I just noticed that Mardi Gras is listed next Wednesday!!
I must've carried it over from 2009, when it was the 24th. For whatever reason, it slipped my notice when I went through the holidays for this year.
Therefore, I hereby issue a recall notice for all 2010-model calendars designed by me. . . Or you can just cross out "Mardi Gras" from next week yourself.
We just watched the New Year's celebration on Chinese television, straight from Guangzhou. A fifth of the world is already in next year!
I hope you have a good one!
Because today's the Autumnal Equinox, at 2:20 p.m. PDT more or less.
At least it's spring down south, right?

Taken a year and a month ago, whilst in Reno, here is my calendar's August portrait of my darling wife.
My calendar at work now has this fun-times photo facing out at me. We were on a motorboat ferrying us across Echo Lakes to the start of our backpacking trip a year ago down in Tahoe.
Here is where I share my lovely photo of my lovely wife from my lovely calendar.
It was after we'd driven Highways 6 and 7 in one day, but then we weren't quite ready to return home. So we stopped at Southcenter. Frappacino?
When I flip over my calendar at work, I'm presented with this lovely photo of my lovely wife, from a kayaking day trip in south Puget Sound last spring.
Smile!
Paddle paddle paddle paddle paddle paddle . . . Can I get out now? Paddle paddle paddle paddle paddle . . . Not yet.
Last year, when we went to drive Highway 8 (between Aberdeen and Olympia), we spent the night in Ocean Shores. 'Twas a typical gray spring day at the beach, but we had fun.
So here's my calendar's photo this month of Chunlin (and me!):
Hm. I've had that shirt since high school...
It's March, which means it's time to turn the page on your calendar. At my office, I turn over the page and am greeted by this wonderful image of my beautiful wife:
Sotosoroto Husband, author, architect, king-abdicate, etc. etc. etc. |
