with the correct number of days in each, centered around the current

display, but, obviously, you won't have to do that, because you have

thanks for all your help

but your code seems to break when changing years. showing january 2008
breaks when populating decemeber 2007 etc...

i believe this line has to take this into account:


month_ranges = months_of_concern.map {|month| 1..Date.new( today.year,
month, -1 ).day}

Yeah, I just realized the edge cases of January and December fail. I
thought the Date object covered that with a -1 or 13 month.

I'm looking into it right now. You might be better off subtracting a
week and adding a week for your big array. For example...

puts Date.new(2008, 1, 5) - 7

=> 2007-12-29
