I know what he said. Perhaps you should read my entire post. His Father may have started a detailed calander of his sons life, and in 1980 he kept his own calander. His Father most likely kept a diary and calendar before. I know people whose Mothers were scrap book kings from their births to weddings and presented to them and the scrap books continue, and I mean every detail just like somebody mentioned FB, this was before FB
Still lots of time between 1978 and 2018. He didn't sat when they shared the calendars at Christmas. Could have started after he was married, after the grandkids, or last year.
Think you are reaching for a gotcha moment and it's not there. The man is no saint, who is, I just don't believe he attempted to rape Dr Ford, and I certainly don't believe he was on a rape gang

He said old events from his calendars. Why would he have old weddings from a 2 year old calendar?
Thank you! I don't imagine he would! It doesn't make sense. This is all I'm trying to get across here.
Why did I keep calendars? My dad started keeping detailed calendars of his life in 1978. He did so as both a calendar and a diary.
He was a very organized guy, to put it mildly. Christmas time, we'd sit around and he regales us with old stories, old milestones, old weddings, old events from his calendars.

I know, but I think you're overanalyzing. He probably wasn't thinking about the sequence in which he was saying it in, but I think the ". . .and old events from the calendars." is meant to be a separate piece from ". . .used to tell us about old milestones, old weddings. . ."

What doesn't match about the timing? You are clearly reaching and taking the quote out of context. Nowhere did he say the stories from 1987 up until 1980 were what inspired him.
Why did I keep calendars? My dad started keeping detailed calendars of his life in 1978. He did so as both a calendar and a diary.
Up until this point without any context, has already explained his inspiration.
He was a very organized guy, to put it mildly. Christmas time, we'd sit around and he regales us with old stories, old milestones, old weddings, old events from his calendars.
This is him putting into context what the diaries meant, and it isn't exclusive to only those 2 years.

No. The entire, quoted sentence: "Christmas time, we'd sit around and he regales us with old stories, old milestones, old weddings, old events from his calendars."
Note the "from his calendars." at the end. Unbroken sentence. Calendars stated as having begun in 1978.

But he stated the stories were from his calendars.
So you mean after Kavanaugh started his own calendar, his father stopped telling stories at Christmas time?
Nope. Kavanaugh stated that these stories were what inspired him to make his own calendars - in 1980. That's 2 years worth of stories Kavanaugh would have been present for anyway.

Nowhere in the transcript does it quote him as saying the reason he started keeping calendar/diaries is because of the stories his dad told between 1978 and 1980, or any other time frame.

Literally answering your question if you'd read what he actually said instead of putting spin on it.
It doesn't though.
See the unbroken sentence I requoted above.
His dad's calendars inspired him to make his own calendars.
HIs dad's stories were from his calendars.
His dad's calendars began in 1978.
Brett's calendars began in 1980.
Odd. During the hearing, one of the Senators even mentioned a phrase in Latin that said, in effect, if any part is untrue, the whole is false.

If I told you about the raise I got 2 years ago, is that considered an old milestone?
You're reaching.
