A Royal Confession: We Have a Problem
· by Roy Edlund
So, the 2027 color calendars showed up right as expected.
I can't tell you how pleased I was with the printing. They're not as rigid as my previous calendars, but they are very nice. Very happy with the print quality.
But, as I inspected the calendar more closely I noticed that July was wonky.
I about had a heart attack. Sandie was out in her tie dye shed so she was unaware of the panic I was in and didn't hear me swear.
Somewhere between me proofing it, and a second set of eyes proofing it, July 2027 decided it needed a 32nd day, I suppose since it didn't get a mention in that 30 days hath September rhyme.
Good news is I have a fix.
I contacted my paper supplier in Dallas and ordered matte sticker paper with rush shipping. I’ll be printing a corrected July grid and putting it on every calendar by hand before it leaves here. It will look right and work fine, I promise.
I know I said the calendars would start shipping tomorrow, but this pushes shipping back a few days.
I’ll post again as soon as the paper arrives and they’re on their way.
I'm very sorry. ❤️
