Is there a better tool than "cron"?

Just looked at its manpage.
I'm looking for something slightly different.

Independent of when I turn on or first do something after midnight on a
specific date I want a reminder to be displayed unless I have taken a
specific action.

As:
  1. I've known her for > 30 years.
  2. I'm a _senior_ citizen.
  3. She is a decade younger.
I am about to receive just retribution.

Wish to prevent such a response next year ;/

TIA

Actually, normal Calendar Entries (i.e. Google Calendar) does a pretty good job of reminding me.  It's Android, but I saw some Open Source Linux Calendars.  You could have them trigger a Musical Piece, for example.
