Dave Barry is very busy. His latest book, Peter and the Starcatchers, made the New York Times best-seller list. A film based on Dave Barry's Complete Guide to Guys, featuring John Cleese, has wrapped up production. Yet he still finds time to study wedding trends by poring over bridal magazines that have roughly the same mass as Ted Kennedy. He scrutinizes the medical field and has found that researchers have finally given up on curing colds and now devote all their efforts to making sure there is no available parking within 1,000 yards of any hospital. He even unselfishly spends hours observing women at the beach and has discovered that somewhere between 100 and 115 percent of all middle-aged women use some kind of buttocks-concealment mechanism, such as a towel or a sarong or remaining in the car. Readers will find boatloads of analyses in the Dave Barry 2006 Calendar, proving that he is the hardest working and most astute cultural observer of all time, who has made every effort, short of doing research, to ensure that the information presented in this calendar is accurate.
