Like most adults, my life basically revolves around calendars. I have many of these I need to follow with varying degrees of importance.<\/p>\n

At the top of the heap sits the calendar on the side of the refrigerator. That carries all the important information I need to make sure I end up in the right place at the right time.<\/p>\n

Because of that, I need to check this calendar regularly. Just because something shows up on there does not mean I already knew about the event. Such is the life of the only male in the house.<\/p>\n

But that calendar also drives the calendar I keep. This one has important sporting events on it or other key events that really only matter to me. I keep this calendar online so I can make sure I have continuous access to this information.<\/p>\n

So keeping the two calendars \u2013 plus any work events which might affect my plans \u2013 in sync can provide a tremendous challenge. I have managed to handle this task, but now find myself vexed by a different problem: unwritten calendars.<\/p>\n

One morning last week, Maria announced that she planned to make soup for dinner that night. Since the weather can change at a moment\u2019s notice, I had to stop for a moment and consider whether that day really called for soup.<\/p>\n

My wife kindly informed me that soup season went through May, a fact I had previously not known. We both agree that an unseasonably warm day rules soup out entirely, but I didn\u2019t know the parameters. In case you need to worry about these kinds of things, soup season runs from September to May.\u00a0 Well, at least it does in our house.<\/p>\n

We have had this discussion before. I have even gone so far as to make my own dinner on days where I felt soup or chili made absolutely no sense regardless of what the calendar said.<\/p>\n

This may get me in hot water, but I kind of object to creating such hard boundaries on such an important topic. I don\u2019t take soup lightly.
\nOr grilling, which I also refuse to restrict to certain months of the year.<\/p>\n

These things are completely situational. I don\u2019t mind soup in April, but if I have to stop and think about what I saw on the weather report five minutes earlier, I think we may have waded into non-soup territory.<\/p>\n

I had no problem walking to my car that morning without a jacket. That also made that day slide away from away from soup and closer to grilling.<\/p>\n

But I found soup on the stove when I came home that night. I briefly considered asserting my rights and breaking out the grill. I didn\u2019t have a lot of time though because of my play (still running this weekend at the Hanover Little Theatre<\/a>).<\/p>\n

So I ignored my internal calendar and enjoyed my wife\u2019s wonderful soup. Now if I could only motivate myself to go grill in the snow one time to even things up. Lucky for me, lazy fits in the calendar all year round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
