Is there an easy "beginner" way to take the current time using to a Date object that has
int month
int day
int year
for it's member variables? Thanks.

time_t tt = time(NULL); // get current time as time_t
struct tm* t = localtime(&tt) // convert t_time to a struct tm
cout << "Month " << t->tm_mon
<< ", Day " << t->tm_mday
<< ", Year " << t->tm_year
<< endl
The tm struct ints are all 0 based (0 = Jan, 1 = Feb) and you can get various day measures, day in month (tm_mday), week (tm_wday) and year(tm_wday).
If there is localtime_r then you should use localtime_r rather than localtime since this is the reentrant version of localtime.
#include <ctime>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
time_t tt = time(NULL); // get current time as time_t
tm tm_buf;
tm* t = localtime_r(&tt, &tm_buf); // convert t_time to a struct tm
std::cout << "Month " << t->tm_mon
<< ", Day " << t->tm_mday
<< ", Year " << t->tm_year
<< std::endl;
return 0;
}
