Most out of date calendar?
First day back in my home office and my desk calendar reads Sep 6 (plus I had 27 phone messages to delete - either there's a limit to how many messages can be stored or nobody called for the first couple of months). My clock's still on daylight savings time.

Not even close, Bob. I just pulled a 1979 one off of my mother's bathroom wall a couple of weeks ago.BobG said:
