Thanks, but I think I'll stick with Escher.

While going on my yearly hunt for a calendar or two (or three), I was struck by two things.  The first is that after New Years, the calendar selection starts to get pretty picked over.  The second is that I'm not sure why someone would buy a calendar centered around a politician, no matter how much they like them.  Twelve months is a long time and quite an investment.  (What do you do if you get angry at them?  Draw mustaches, scars, and eye patches?  What if you later change your mind and fall back in love?  What do you do then?)  Personally, I don't think that I could take a year of catch phrases and fake smiles.  I guess that's why I've stuck with the wonders of the world, this day in history, and M.C. Escher.
