Oh, I know, but the fact that I'm looking for a 2008 planner in May means my chances of finding them are probably much smaller. Something tells me this might be a sign of my inability to organize things ...

Amazon has them for pretty good prices (at least compared to my fancy staionery store downstairs).

ETA: Note that they have 18-months ones for July 2008 to December 2009.

Jilli, I may have one that never really got used. If you cannibalize or want to ignore the first half the year. But the 18 month might be better for you.

Heh, thank you for the offer, but I just hit the shiny Ebay link.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So I left work to "work from home", where "work from home" = "two-hour nap."

All right. I have a really good PP presentation, but did not have time to do a good handout with additional info. I have a really lousy handout with good info, but poorly written. Right now I'm leaning in the direction of no handout, they can go to the web site for more info. Does that make sense?

Skimming Natter I just saw the Things Younger than McCain website, which is amusing, but after reading the author's defense on why the site is not ageist I found myself uncomfortably disagreeing with him.

He argues that basically an older person may potentially suffer "Memory loss, Decreased stamina, Greater susceptibilty to illness, and Possible lack of ability to relate to the issues and concerns of the vast majority of younger Americans, And, of course, the increased likelihood of dying in office… throwing the country into temporary turmoil and placing a greater importance of the role of Vice President"

Does the author have objective bases for these broad generalizations? Is he saying that because many 72 year olds have some or all of these characteristics we should assume that McCain does to? Wouldn't I be justified in refusing to hire a 72 year old on the same bases as this list? What is ageism then?

Maybe I'm thinking too hard about this.
