Thanks Joanne - I love the Calendar Zone.

And the U.S. Naval Observatory site, used to live not far from it. A couple of years ago they provided the most lucid, reasoned article on why 1/1/2001 was the start of the new millenium, not 2000. I sent it to approximately 10,000 crazed individuals, to no avail.

Yes, all over the DC/Va/Md area. At that time I was in NW D.C. near Connecticut Ave. Also, Capitol Hill, Falls Church, Alexandria, College Park, Rockville, Silver Spring. I moved a lot.

Well lets see now, Virginia Falls Church, Annandale 1976-1778, North Springfield !978-1995. Fredericksbrug, VA part of 1996 and 1997. Then Silver Spring 11&12/2000 and 10/2001 through 7/2002 Garette Park and Rockville. In between those dates I lived in Austin, TX, Oakland, CA, San Diego, CA. Hmm, I think I have moved a lot too.

Wow! Sounds fun, or exhausting. I have only been back there once in the last few years for a visit, but I miss it - great years I spent there, working in downtown DC. I hope to escape this cultural wasteland for civilisation someday soon.

Why not post the calendars in the Reference Links, Joanne? This looks like something that might be hard to find otherwise.
