With the events of the past couple of months, the annual calendars featuring Kaaawa’s cats, dogs, and early mornings on the beach slipped off my to-do list. But a friendly nudge yesterday put them back on top of the weekend agenda, right up there with the big pot of turkey soup.

I expect to have calendars ready to order by Monday morning. That should just meet the “order in time for Christmas” deadlines.

The problem, given the late date, is that I won’t have time to order a round of printed copies before making them publicly available. I’ll do my best on the proofreading, but sometimes these long-distance relationships with digital printers can have their quirks. But I haven’t had complaints the past few years, so I think you’ll be happy with the 2011 calendars.
