It's a 28-day cycle, like a lunar cycle. The last Sunday in January is 
the first fencepost, with the 1st budgetary period being from January 1 
to that Sunday. Then, that Sunday is the first day of the 2nd budget 
period, and so on.

But, I think I've got it now. My problem was my use of Time.now instead 
of DateTime.now. DateTime.now allows me to compare these budgetary dates 
with today's date. Thanks for everything.

Cheers,
Peter
