Thanks Adrian,
Let me explain the problem better.  Say my table has 24 entries, one for
each
hour, midnight through 11 pm.  If the user enters "6:30 PM", I want to give
them
the closest times in proximity - both before AND after - to their input...
so in this 
case, I'd return 5:00 PM, 6:00 PM, 7:00 PM, 8:00 PM, etc.

I believe your solution only provides the closest times BEFORE and not
AFTER.
