The 2005 NHL Desk Calendar


box_calendar_lockout.jpg

Over my lunch hour today I took a walk to a local Borders, where I found that every 2005 calendar in stock is now available for 50% off. And after rummaging through the discount bin, I found this one-of-a-kind NHL 2005 Lockout Desk Calendar! At $5.99, it was a bargain.

Here are just some of the details from inside:

January 1: Remember to check caller ID in order to avoid the inevitable, "Where were you last night," call from Bill Wirtz.

January 3: Send thank you note to Rob Ray.

January 14: Cancel season.

January 16: Crank call Chris Chelios.

February 8: Take wife to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. NB: pick up Bob Goodenow voodoo doll for Bobby Clarke.

March 15: Cocktails with Jerry Buss at LAX. After all, even David Stern can't live forever.

April 10: Check in with Jose Theodore for the latest interest rate news ahead of Fed announcement.

May 13: Hire body double to appear at 2005 Entry Draft. If one isn't available, send Bill Daly.

June 6: Buy Sidney Crosby's high school graduation gift. Don't skimp!

June 22: Take advantage of early bird discount for 2005-06 NBA League Pass.

July 7: Call Steve Passmore to see if he's still, "Loving life in Deutschland."

August 6: Leave Manhattan for annual three-week retreat to the Hamptons. Remind Steve Webb he'll make more working as your Cabana Boy than playing in Switzerland.

September 14: Get to bed early. Tomorrow is a big day!

Unfortunately, that's where the calendar ends. Then again, that may very well be where the league ends too.
