That makes sense.  I'll just set this variable in my .emacs for now.  I
use single day view about 95% of the time and I'd rather switch
day-to-week view when I need it instead of constantly switching back to
day view.

One option for remembering it would be to limit the remembered value to
7 or less.  That might feel weird to new org mode users though when it
doesn't remember the longer time spans.

Thanks for the quick solution :)
