I have what seems to be a simple question that I can't find on the web.  How do I get the 
current date from the Ansible server into a J2 variable?  I know how to do it with {{ 
ansible_date_time.date }} but that's from the remote node at the time Ansible collected 
facts (which could be cached), NOT "now" on the server I'm running on...right?

Check out lookups
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_lookups.html

{{ lookup('pipe','date') }}
