That is fantastic David, and well deserved. I love that photo.

Where might a guy obtain such a calendar?

Cheers

Dave:

I know why you made it to the calender. They needed some good looking fella to pose so more girls would purchase the calender.

Seriously, Congratulations to you. You surely earned to be in that photo.

I am going to purchase me that calender.

Thanks for the post.
