I am clearly missing something here.  Why won't "1/1/2001" be an "odd day"?
 And why wasn't "12/30/1998" the last even day?  For that matter, why is
"11/19/99" the last "odd day" of the millenium (and, for once, we seemingly
don't have to argue over the 2000/2001 thing)?  Wouldn't 11/21/99 and
11/23/99 and 11/25/99 and 11/27/99 and 11/29/99 qualify?

What am I missing?
