The real problem of this kind of solution is the lost of data if you 
restart your application. If your 'far away in the future' is 6 months, 
I won't expect my server to run 6 months (not for reliability reason, 
but a change of configuration for example, or a new feature of my app). 
So you have to store the scheduled calls somewhere.

For the use of callLater, like Jean-Paul said you should try and see if 
it works for you. If you already store your calls somewhere it won't be 
hard to make a simple scheduler with a tick function.
