I remember reading a book of essays by Isaac Asimov in which
he proposed a new calendar.  I don't remember the details, but
it seemed very logical (if unconventional).  I believe it had
the virtues of not having to account for "leap" years, and each
date fell on the same day of the week each year.  It had something
like an 80 day month, and I think the "week" may not have had
7 days.

Anybody remember this, who can post some more details?  The book
may have been "The Tragedy of the Moon", but I'm not sure.
