1966.0. "Next year's Calendar" by BRAT::GERMANN () Mon Nov 14 1988 15:56

    For some strange reason I decided to be more organized this year
    and get my 1989 weekly calendar book before the first week of February.
    So I went to the book store over the weekend, fully intending to
    pick up the usual leather-bound, very professional looking book
    that I have always carried.  However, some of my more frivolous
    manner must have been lurking in the subconcsious because what I
    came home with is far from the usual.
    
    "And why are you telling us this?" you may ask.  Well, what I wound
    up with is a bright red, white and black covered weekly engagement
    calendar which is titled "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats -
    T. S. Eliot - Calendar for 1989"  It is illustrated by Edward Gorey.
    
    I can't wait to see the looks of faces in meetings next year when
    we all pull out our calendars to schedule whatever and out comes
    good old T. S. Eliot!!!
    
    There were adorable cat and kitten calendars - although I never
    like the pictures that look obviously set up - like the cat in the
    baby carriage with diapers, etc.  But some of the pictures were
    soooooooo typical.  You know, the cat asleep, upside down of course,
    in the big, dark blue chair -- oh the cat hairs...........

    Sounds great.  Where oh where did you find this?
    
    Thanks,

    I found it at the Paperback Booksmith in the Bedford Mall in Bedford,
    NH.
    
    On September 26, there is a drawing of a cat holding a birthday
    cake - T. S. Eliot's birthday!!
