FULLFILL YOUR CALENDAR NEEDS WITH WEB SITES.

Byline: - Laurie Beasley

If that last page in your 1997 calendar is still staring you in the face, its margins now crowded with scribbled notations of 1998 appointments, it's time to cut your losses.

Chances are you've made all the excuses already: too busy, too many to choose from, too expensive.

Whatever the reason, time's a-wastin'. So, if you've got access to the Internet, log on and get with the new year.

Whether you're logging the full moons in 1998 or counting down the days until the millennium, the Web has a calendar to suit your tastes.
