+* CALENDAR
+Let's make a 12-month calendar available.  Nice to have so that when we click on time/date in xmobar, we get a nice 12-month calendar to view.

 * CENTAUR-TABS
 To use tabs in Doom Emacs, be sure to uncomment "tabs" in Doom's init.el.  Displays tabs at the top of the window similar to tabbed web browsers such as Firefox.  I don't actually use tabs in Emacs.  I placed this in my config to help others who may want tabs.  In the default configuration of Doom Emacs, 'SPC t' is used for "toggle" keybindings, so I choose 'SPC t c' to toggle centaur-tabs.  The "g" prefix for keybindings is used for a bunch of evil keybindings in Doom, but "g" plus the arrow keys were not used, so I thought I would bind those for tab navigation.  But I did leave the default "g t" and "g T" intact if you prefer to use those for centaur-tabs-forward/backward.
