This one is Italian from Allaluna.  It's pretty unimpressive - a lot of his standard 'masterpieces', but it has Sueño causado por el vuelo de una abeja alrededor de una granada un segundo antes de despertar, which I just saw a few weeks ago in Madrid at el Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza.  This month is Mujer con cabeza de rosas, and I saw the brass chair depicted in this painting at the Dali Museum in Barcelona.  

Ahhhh, Spain.

My wife and I did a will and trust and our lawyer sent us an American history calendar. This month shows the Lincoln memorial. It's for my office anyway, so I didn't really want to go buy one.
 
And I recommend doing the will and trust to all you married homeowners.

I don't know where in the thread this will show but it's a question for King Bob based on his calendar last year.  Did you like your lawyer?  Actually, does anyone have a rec?  Lord Cranefly (he's modest and usually drops the title, but what the hell) and I need to do this too.

We had outs done by a trust lawyer that did it in trade for Stacy's doula work. Being parents, we did this a long time ago. The guy who did it was great but he's left that field because it is no longer as lucrative due to recent economic shifts. Now he's a 215 lawyer.

I told that tale here before: http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...5#pid13665

So no referrals, eh?  Did he have any partners?

This year is Yosemite, the Tide-mark calendar, which rather mysteriously does NOT appear on their website because I just went there to poach an image for this.  

We missed our 2016 Yosemite trip because Jingles died.  We planned to spend a week backpacking the high country but instead, we said goodbye to our beloved pom.

Office calendar 2018 = Ansel Adams authorized edition



I now ask for an office calendar on my Xmas list every year. This one came from my daughter. It has an image that's the full version of a cropped print of Stacy's that hangs on our wall. It's a bit oversized so I'll have to adjust my wall hangings - 4 framed personal photos & 2 small arts pieces from friends - one of which is a skull from KB - but it'll fit. Ansel is always awesome and Tara got it as a reminder of our half dome climb last summer. I'm eager to hang it next week.

Given that, I had to take the high road and get an Ansel calendar.  It's a little wider than the standard, so I had to move my mini-black-framed-KB-skull painting, my pic of me on lion dancing on stage at the dead and my pic of me at Tamo's cave over a little to make room.  I'm sure you're all very excited to know this.

Okay, the parallels between 2009 & 2018 are spooky. Maybe I'm stuck in a time loop.

i was figuring i'd just become a celebrity instead of changing mags.  so far, no luck.

Took me a while, but celebrity I am. I RIDE WITH EL REY.

I got a glossy wall calendar from my main supplier from Germany. I usually get "day-planners" from them which are super useful, but this year, a fancy wall calendar with models wearing fencing gear. One big problem: The calendar is functionally useless. It shows dates (numbers) in 2 rows with no days. Nada.

It is a triumph of bad design. I threw it out.

You threw that out? Who are you and what have you done with the real PPFY?

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

I already have fencing gear -- I need a functional wall-calendar! Zee Chermanz haff failed!

2020 is another Gorey calendar for my office from my daughter.  She got me a Gorey last year (2019) too.  That's cool.  I love Gorey.  I was remiss in posting that last year.

Plus there's this:

A side note - one of the xmas gifts I got for Stacy was a Ram Dass calendar.  She had one last year and requested another this year.  I totally forgot that it was a Ram Dass calendar until she opened it yesterday.

I don't do wall calendars anymore. I used to love them at my office space, but now my office is a corner of our already packed tight bungalow, and I have calendar wipe board to keep track of time. 

However, I saw this and immediately thought of the Dog dads (and mom's - going for that alliteration) of D00M:

We use the calendars that come in the mail. But The Queen has a made a calendar as Christmas gifts for all the relatives. She has added everyone's birthdays so we can keep track.

[Drunk Monk]

You could probably make this calendar using your dog and the lair...

[Greg]

Next year. And we'll use the cats and their massive piles.

[Drunk Monk]

Well, crap. I stepped in that dog poop. 

Because I clicked through on that calendar image to grab it for the forum here, my fb feed has now been inundated with sales pitches for this damn calendar. And like I said, I don't do wall calendars anymore.
