They were called DayTimers. Every successful private sector person had one in the 80’s. His parents and his parent’s friends and family no doubt kept them too. They were so popular that “refills” for the next year to go into the leather DayTimer mini-binder were given as stocking stuffers or modest gifts at Christmas.
I was thinking the same thing...either kavanuagh was given bad advice or whoever released the info was giving ford’s lawyers a heads up!! In today’s atmosphere I don’t trust anyone in D.C.!!
Yes it’s a day planner they were really big in the late 70s and most of the 80s
Hope that’s true.
I was hoping he’d been in Ethiopia building houses with Rev. Billy Graham, but a calendar would work.
She’ll pick the one blank date on the calendar.
If this wasn’t for who is involved, Judge Kavanaugh and his nomination this would not be happening.
Regular non rich or non connected people should not try this because you will be laughed at and ignored.
“
Make sure it’s a bound journal so it can be called as evidence in court.”
As a young trainee, a senior advisor told me to have a bound notebook with numbered pages. Also to write something every day, even if it is just the weather.
Somewhere along the line, I started with Moleskine and have a drawer full of them. I have wanted to trash them since I retired, maybe I should hang on to them?
ok, if you trust the Chairman. i think i like the dated safety deposit box method better.
If your life depends on getting into an Ivy League school, in this case Yale, you are not likely to be anything other than focused on whatever you need to do to get it in. He was interviewed by Yale that summer. That would have been his mindset that summer. Not partying.
I think the are offering her a graceful way out if she is smart enough to take it. She can say with all the witnesses she thought were there she has discovered she can no longer be sure it was Kavanaugh. If she goes forward I think these calendars are just a small piece of what they have.
The paper that interviewed her equally wacky husband slipped in a couple dates that could make her 14. I wondered why they did that and this could be why.
Here it is. WaPo who’s been manipulating the strings from day one. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/christine-blasey-ford-wanted-to-flee-the-us-to-avoid-brett-kavanaugh-now-she-may-testify-against-him/2018/09/22/db942340-bdb1-11e8-8792-78719177250f_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ee4ab4e64e21
no doubt, does anyone know yet if she’s testifying before Kavenaugh? if i were him, i wouldn’t present anything before she testifies.
I think the odds are against her showing. She will bail.
If keeping a calendar was his habit, then the chances he has calendars for more years is pretty good. God Bless Him.
Dear Lord in Heaven:
May the Truth Ring Out Across the Land!
Amen.
I was just going to post about DayTimers! There were tremendously popular. I graduated High School ‘79 and college ‘83. I remember starting with them in high school. I think the company even came in and gifted them in one of my classes, and I got a reminder to buy refills by mail. There was a sales pitch and they taught us how to use them for absolutely everything.
The fact that he kept such detailed calendars in HS tells us he was truly a Geek’s geek! Not Don Juan. And the fact that he still has those 36 year old calendars tells us he is truly organized and efficient about everything he does. He did not learn that on the house party circuit.
I used to keep a journal during the first few years I worked in NY State Corrections as a C.O. After that I stopped keeping them, and threw mine out years ago before I even retired in 2003.
Just remembered something about my father, and his keeping copies of all his reports. My Dad was a track foreman with the New York Central Railroad. Had worked for them for about 50 years. I can remember him every night sitting down after supper at the kitchen table, and making out his track reports for the work they did that day. He used to write everything down in a pocket notebook, then transfer the info onto these large yellow reports every night. He also made a carbon copy for himself of each and every report, and kept them in a safe place. After PennCentral took over NYCRR, there came a time when my father would use those copies. Apparently there had been a derailment on one of the tracks in my father’s work area, and the higher-ups were looking to blame my father and his crew for failing to repair a known problem on the line. They were claiming they didn’t have his reports for the repairs. My father was able to pull out all his copies of the reports he submitted, to show that he, and his crew had repaired that specific track not long before the derailment. After all those years they had tried to make my father, and his men the scapegoats. It didn’t work because he had the proof to show them. My Dad loved his job, but after this incident, we told him it was time for him to retire. He waited until he was 65, and then he put his pension papers in. Sadly, he died less than 7 years later.
Grassley will end up granting this to "make her feel comfortable" in testifying. He'll probably also agree to not put her under oath.
I came across some 30 year old college class notes a few years ago. After 30 years, I still didn't understand them anymore that the day I took them.
I tossed them.
