This time of year I get to thinking about time and calendars. One of my projects, well one that I have been thinking about for a couple of years, is to save all my calendars and reuse them as they become lined up again. So how many years of calendars would you have to save? Well it turns out there are fourteen if you believe Wikipedia.
But this chart shows seven working just fine. So for the year 2007, you could use the 1979, 1990, 1996, and 2001 calendars if you had them. I’m not sure how the leap year phenomenon works into this but then I’m guessing that if I started to save calendars or read more I could figure it out.
Not all calendars would lend themselves to this saving plan. For example, the one in our kitchen is so marked up with Suzy‘s and my schedules that they are unusable after the year ends.
And then there is the calendars at work, where this year I used my favorite pictures of Coleman Hawkins for four months until Coltrane‘s pic came up. So that calendar has been cut up too much to reuse.
And who knows, maybe the special calendars that I adore this year, with pictures of saxophones including a number of pictures I took myself, will not be as interesting to me in 2012 when the calendar can be reused. Hey, it could happen! ;o)
The Bis Key Chronicles 
I’m sitting here laughing! I’m reading your entries and the only thing that came to mind was…….what an analytical mind! I bet you could do real well with the stock market! I saw Coultrane highlighted on your recent entry and it brought to mind that I tried to get one of my brothers a Coutrane tee-shirt from a long ago concert venue and it didn’t come. Marley and the Wailers came but not Coltrane. Oh well. I generally look at the books people read and will go and check out "The Eight" and "The Piano and the West Bank." I know I didn’t get the last title quite right but I either recently purchased it or it is still on my wish-list. The former I have heard about so will check it out. Yes, these quiet days are most pleasant indeed. The weather was very non-discript and I won’t be really settled until we get a wild and wooly nor’easter. That is when I can block out the world and do what I want. Read, write, listen to music etc., etc.
I hope your holiday’s went well. Enjoy your time off and the best in 2007. Lots of good music. Bittersweet
I have to agree with Bittersweet, I was thinking the same thing. Love the music on your site today. Love acoustic. Great pictures by the way. What’s your new years resolution? I have been playing old records from my childhood and would like to start reading again. Other than instructional or teaching books I haven’t read a book in ages. Have a Happy New Year and will be talking you….next year! :-)
