The cron job I was talking about, is the simplest.  One script, one 
touch point.

Otherwise, you can have two scripts.  One at boot to submit the at job 
and one is the at job.

Have the at job actually test, to make sure uptime is correct.  And it 
should also submit a new at job for the next anniversary.
