Screw it. Set cron to run the report every Friday. Some stupid 
holiday/lunar event is going to make him want you to change from even 
week of the year Fridays to odd ones and back.
If it's a lot of paper, just email it to him and let him delete/print 
it. If you work for him, give him a calendar and ask him to put a check 
mark next to all the fridays he wants. You are doomed if you think it'll 
stay in a regular pattern. What about the weeks s/he goes on vacation?
