Thanks.  I eventually got it to work without issue.  There were a couple of
tzdata updates real close together.  One machine that I had not kept as
up-to-date pulled them both down in one update sequence, installing one after
the other, and didn't have the issue. <shrugs>

Part of my issue was my confusion re: living in an area that I think of as
being GMT-5.  For whatever reason, selecting "GMT-5" set it *ahead* of GMT
by 5 hours.  Selecting "GMT+5" got me behind 5 hours like I should be.

I will still check that man page out for future reference, if nothing else.

on edit:  I have a new friend in "timedatectl status".  :D  Thanks!
