HOLY HUNKS?!

If you’re like me, there always seems to be ONE thing you wished you’d bought while on vacation, but didn’t. Sometimes it’s something really useful, like the two-sided, magnetic window washing system that our friends Leone and Ted spotted one year in Sicily. Sometimes you wish you'd brought back more wine, or that really cute T-shirt. Sometimes it’s something useful and fun….like the calendar we spotted in Rome last week while on our walking tour.

You know calendars are BIG business. Once calendars used to be something you received free from local businesses. Even the parish church would give out free calendars, paid for by the advertisements forming the border. Now there are calendars for every interest…dogs, cats, horses, castles, mountains, Italy, France, baseball, firefighters, cars, whatever.

Just when you thought you’d seen it all, we spied a calendar in Rome unlike any we’d ever seen before, and I dare say this one is NOT like the parish calendar we used to get!

Our friend Jami regretted not buying one of these Roman priest calendars even before she left Rome. She looked at the airport but couldn't find one there.

We called our friend Tony who'd taken us on the walking tour where we first spotted them, and he's generoulsy offered to send us one to take back to Louisville for Jami.

Here’s one LINK with a fair amont of into, and another LINK with just the calendar, in case you’re interested. This idea seems ripe for sick jokes and snide remarks, but whatever you do with the calendar is between you and your God.
