  <tr>
    <th>8:00-9:00</th>
    <td>Meet with Sam</td>
    <td> </td>
    <td> </td>
    <td> </td>
    <td> </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th>9:00-10:00</th>
    <td> </td>
    <td> </td>
    <td>Doctor Williams</td>
    <td>Sam again</td>
    <td>Leave for San Antonio</td>
  </tr>
</table>

    Good luck!
