That's what I had at first, but it shows up on the calendar on _every_
Tuesday or Friday.  What I'm trying to get is for it to only show up once,
if the day I draw the calendar is that particular Tuesday or Friday.  But
hey, no quotes needed.  That simplifies things.

Well, heck. I was going by an example in

https://blog.thechases.com/posts/remind/

that says

SATISFY [$U == realtoday()] MSG Only appears today

I guess I simplified it too far...
