I think I'm the same.  For the one I redo every day, I enter the times &
events in my own terse rigid format that's easy for me to parse, then run a
preprocessor to generate the *rem file.  The rest, for recurring or one-off
events, are in their own files.  Usually I only have to modify them once
every week or three.
