Looks useful.  One thing I'd like to see is a simple way to enter the
date.  I find myself quite often wanting to add an event that occurs
later the same day, so a quick short-hand for entering today's date
could be useful, perhaps.  I don't know if emacs has an interface to
timespec stuff, like for example the one at(1) and similar commands
use.

Just typing in 'next friday', 'tomorrow', or 'in four days' could be
useful.
