That was very helpful.  Thank you.
The docs are "thin" but present.

New Problem:

irb can't see it.

require 'calendar_grid'
returns
LoadError: no such file to load -- calendar_grid
         from (irb):3:in `require'
         from (irb):3
         from :0

So this kind of sucks.  I made the assumption that it would just work. 
I'll assume there is some path that's fuggered up.  I'll think about 
fixing it later, it's an annoyance.  But the other question that came up 
while I was staring at this is:
if I install 'calendar_grid' then how am I supposed to know that the 
object name is 'CalendarGrid' and how do you keep the two in your head 
for the 100's of objects?
I found it by reading the source file of the gem I installed.
