I got a call the other day from a woman who said
she had found me after seeing me in a calendar.
A calendar...?!?
Now why my first thought was some soft porn
calendar, I'll never know, but I kept wracking
my brain trying to remember the last time I
posed for a calendar.
Not coming up with anything, I had to ask.
"What calendar?"
Turns out I am quoted in a calendar called
"Wild Words from Wild Women" - one of those
day to day calendars where you rip off a page
per day and get a pithy quote each day.
I never use those calendars. I need big blank
boxes to manage my days and those day to
day calendars have no space for anything.
I think they are just meant to inspire, provoke
thought, get a laugh.
Then I remembered - I have that calendar.
Someone had given it to me on my last birthday
and it sat on my desk unused.
Turns out, I'm July 18th. And the quote?
"Once you stare down the barrel of a 9mm gun,
starting a business is a piece of cake."

Wow. I'm in a calendar.
Thank God I wasn't naked.
