Hi Ezra,

Try something like:

def render_date
   if self.value.nil? or self.value.empty?
     ^^^^^^^^^^ <---- Note difference here...
     date = Date.today
   else
     pdate = ParseDate.parsedate(self.value)
     date = Date.new(pdate[0],pdate[1],pdate[2])
   end
   #helpful.select_date date, {:prefix => control_tag_id}
   helpful.date_box(control_tag_id, control_tag_css_id, 
date.to_time.strftime("%m/%d/%Y"))
 end
