Personally, I always use a RL calendar that has little squares in it and I can write in them and cross things out and the whole month is there for me to see. I just can't do it electronically. I have tried to do the Yahoo thing and I even had a Google widget for my desktop that was connected to my calendar but that meant I had to keep the computer on all the time just to check my availability on a particular day.
Plus I like flipping pages ahead to see what's coming up. I sort of feel like, "surprise!" when I use the widget because it just tells me what I'm doing that day.
[Does it really astonish no one that I write incredibly long books and then cut them down? I mean, my whole life is one long draft...]
Upcoming this fall:

I love this fair so much and have attended and/or participated every year since it began!
