Ah, I see. An interesting thought. Maybe we could do something like
this with labels. You'd create a task label or something, then we
could create a view for labels. And you could view all tasks before
today or up till today through that. So when you complete something
you could remove the task label or switch it to a completed label, and
you'd no long have to see it with the other tasks.

Do you think that would suffice for your purposes? Even if it would, I
need to warn you that it could be a long time until I get around to
implementing this. I have a full page of things that I want to do as
well. With this one, it's now 11 items. And the time that I've been
spending on the calendar recently has been pretty scarce.

This one is tough. It would require having a label for each occurance
of an event. I guess that is doable. I'll have to think about it more.
