Thanks Brent for the concise answer.  I did something like this for the first 
round.  All tests passed.

Now, I have to be able to deal with partial days, holidays, and weekends. 

eg. December 24, 2004 was a holiday for us so a Timespan of '23 December 2004 
13:00' to '28 December 2004 13:00' would result in 16 hours (4 on the 23rd 
and 28th, 8 on the 27th).

So, I think Michael Latta's suggestion to use a Schedule is more feasible.  I 
just have to figure out how to use the Schedule API effectively.
