Perhaps this info is important enough to not be in time but in locale?
I could rework my code that figures out the date info to fit more into
locale.  Maybe have some constants (like A_WEEKDAY, F_WEEKDAY, etc.) that
could be passed to a function that would return a list of the requested
names?  Or could stay with the way I currently have it and just have a
class that stores all of that info and has named attributes to return the
info?
