Why not? All you have to do is explicitly exclude the two
dates. Something like this (lightly tested) should work. (NB: Wednesday
= 3 and calendar/diary wants dates as 3-element lists in the form (month
day year)):
%%(let ((dayname (calendar-day-of-week date)))
(and (= dayname 3)
(not (calendar-date-equal date '(10 26 2011)))
(not (calendar-date-equal date '(11 30 2011)))))
I added this to .diary, did M-x calendar RET and marked the entries
with m: seems to work fine.
