Anyone want to guess why the first day of the week is changing on me?

Hmmm. I made the following changes and it seems to be working. Shame on me for not using the interface in the first place!

TimeZone timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone( "GMT-5" );
Locale locale = Locale.US;
GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar( timeZone, locale );

to

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

Okay - here's the culprit:

TimeZone timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone( "GMT-5" );
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
