from wikipedia:
The first known approximation of the (inverse) golden ratio by a
decimal fraction, stated as "about 0.6180340," was written in 1597 by
Prof. Michael Maestlin of the University of Tübingen in a letter to
his former student Johannes Kepler.[13]

hmm, i wonder if we can do a better mapping [6 has a little to do with
phi, but very little]. what about applying the inverse ratio to 365
[days in a year]:
255.58241 = 365 * .618034
aug 13 is day 226

so maybe that can be the due date? i'm sure we can work the math in
some way to get a date we can live with ...

also, day 89 [fibonacci] is 30 march, and day 144 is 24 may, and day
233 is aug 21.
