Instead of typing in the dates as shown in your posting, type in an actual
date (for example 6/18/2008 or Jun 18, 2008), select the column and Format
Cells using this custom format...

dddd mmm dd, yyyy

That custom format will show the date in the format you want, but the entry
in the cell will be a date, so it can be dragged down.
