English is not my native language but could days-since be better?
Just wanted to chime in here that `days-since` would be the perfect name
(as in `2014-08-21 days-since`). English is my native language and I
hadn't even thought of this name! :)

How about:

Or really just
: today ( -- timestamp ) gmt midnight ; inline
if I'm not mistaken. It's a short trip from `today`'s current definition:

But then things go wrong in the rare cases when you change your
timezone.
I have learned much and now use two new words which solve my problem:
: local-ymdtimestamp ( str -- timestamp ) ! str is -MM-DD
ymdtimestamp gmt-offset-duration gmt-offset
;
: days-since ( str -- n ) ! str

I also realize now that this date vs datetime distinction was what Jon
was suggesting, whereas I thought he was talking about have one version
normalize to local time, have the other normalize to GMT (like
Date.current Date.today in Rails). I'm all for a date vs datetime
distinction---probably
