1.   Because fallible human beings have been in charge of calendars over the centuries, none of the seasons start when the calendar says they are supposed to.

2.   Better yet, what does the calendar say?

3.   A month ago winter seemed more than improbable, no matter what the calendar said.

4.   Forget what the calendar says.

5.   It is also about not giving up on a dream because the calendar says you should.

6.   The calendar said spring started nearly a month ago.

7.   The calendar says May, but it feels a lot like June out here at the Westchester Country Club.

8.   The calendar may say August, but inside F.A.O. Schwarz, the kinetic toy emporium on Fifth Avenue, executives have their eyes on December.

9.   The calendar says May.

10.   The calendar says spring is imminent, which stirs dreams of balmy days.
