DAILY CALENDAR CHALLENGE #042 – FEBRUARY 11
The start of another week battling the challenges of my three daily calendars. It’s not the three table top calendars that add worry to my mornings … it’s the large photo wall calendar hanging on the back of the kitchen door. It’s the Saint Louis Zoo Calendar. Now, while January’s Snow Leopard was kind of cute, February is just rather annoying.
Reptiles are not my morning cup of tea! But on to today’s challenges over on the table.
#1 THE ORIGAMI CHALLENGE CALENDAR – THE SLY FOX
While this one was easy to fold; it was a real problem to photograph.
#2 THE MENSA PUZZLE CALENDAR – THE LAST NAME’S THE SAME
It took me four names to come up with a last name on line one. I flunked out with the people on line two. On line three I thought the first two people were Richard and Seth Green, but I had never heard of a Clarence Green. The poet gave it away on the fourth name. On the fourth row I got the surname on the first person. Even though he really was before my time, he was one of my favorite actors. So I scored 9 points out of a possible 20. That’s 45% — and I doubt if that’s a passing grade.
#3 THE PAGE-A-DAY CALENDAR – SEEK WHENCE (WHAT AGAIN?)
The object of this puzzle is to explain why the first number sequence could the logically continued as any of the a, b or c sequences. BTW the puzzles was created by a computer. I don’t know about a or b, but I could explain why c could be continued … but it would take too long and no one would understand what I would type out. Dumb SEEK WHENCE … I hate when computers make puns with their puzzles.
And what was Mlle. Renee doing while I was face to face with an evil Komodo Dragon?
Sleeping on my bed … and cleaning her feet!

I’m with Renee. It’s all too much work! However, I can see that the Komodo Dragon will keep you on the path this month. He looks like there will be discipline if you try to be a slacker.
I could replace the Dragon photo with the Lincoln photo come March to keep me on my post-a-day goal for the year.
Fox is very cute!
If I adjust the folding a little bit, I’ll bet I can change the fox into Renee.
She IS pretty foxy…
Maybe I’ll do it to celebrate our anniversary today.
You did an outstanding job with origami Renee!
Thank you, it was more like the Renee I brought home four years ago.
