Hum, thinking out loud as I don't know the answer.  Assume that for your 
sins in a past life at 11:30AM EST every day you have to talk to me. How 
do I set my calendar up to have an infinite set of dates, I've never 
known an application let me do this?  How do we sync our calendars so 
that your EST or (I guess) EDT ties in with my GMT or BST?
