I'm with you up to the last one...shouldn't 'sun-1' refer to the last *sunday* of a month? Otherwise I'm unsure as to the logic of having 'wed1' refer to the first wednesday, but 'sun-1' refer to the last wednesday...maybe I'm missing something? Of course, it's entirely possible this is just a typo, in which case, all is right with the world ;) -b3
