Yes to all of those, Ronni. I did a little more exploring of iCal / Lion / MobielMe sync issues and it seems there's a plague of problems. Seems to me a move to iCloud is going to be the only long term solution. Which will mean an iPhone hardware upgrade. Might not be such a bad thing to be forced to do ... my iPhone 3G has slowed to a crawl these days. Hopefully the iPhone 5 will be out before MobileMe disappears.
An option is that I access Calendar via www.me.com/calendar - at initial glance that seems to be more reliable.
