    .AtYear(1985)
    .At(22,53)
    .LetsGo();

Console.WriteLine(myBirthDay); // 8/24/1985 10:53:00 PM

var today = GoTo.Today().LetsGo();
Console.WriteLine($"Today's date is: {today}"); // Today's date is: 6/14/2024 6:15:08 PM

var lastDayOfJanuary = GoTo
    .LastDay()
    .InMonth(Month.January)
    .AtYear(2024)
    .At(15,20,35)
    .LetsGo();

Console.WriteLine($"Last day of Jan is: {lastDayOfJanuary}"); // Last day of Jan is: 1/31/2024 3:20:35 PM

using EasyDate;

8.August(1985).At(23,15);                       // 8/8/1985 11:15:00 PM
4.Days().Before(DateTime.Now);                  // 6/10/2024 6:20:36 PM
2.Weeks().After(DateTime.Now);                  // 6/28/2024 6:20:36 PM
10.Months().Before(DateTime.Now).At(14,30,50);  // 8/14/2023 2:30:50 PM
6.Weeks().Later();                              // 7/26/2024 6:20:36 PM
2.Years().Ago();                                // 6/14/2022 6:20:36 PM

using EasyDate;

    .AtYear(1985)
    .LetsGo().IsWednesday();                //  is wednesday: False
