Has a date on the calendar ever snuck up on you? I (Dave Skahen) feel like my kids’ birthdays sneak up on me every year. I can think of a few times when a birthday was just few days away, and I had a panic moment because I didn’t remember to buy gifts. Thankfully, my wife stays on top of these things and the family calendar much better than I do. She reassures me in those moments that she has already purchased what is needed.
