Not sure what you mean by a horizontal line, Greg. I change one of my plots to add a path between corresponding values of the sequence variable but obviously those lines are mostly not horizontal. Look at geom_path and similar geoms like geom_line to connect endpoints grouped whatever way you specify.
ggplot(data=myDat,aes(x=date, y=time, label=time)) + geom_point(aes(color=seq)) + geom_path(aes(group=seq)) + geom_text(aes(color=seq)) As this is a help group, I think I am done.

In addition to what your did, for event 1, I would like to draw a horizontal line connecting from day 1 to day 2 to day 3 to day 4. Then, for event 2, I would like to draw a horizontal line connecting from day 1 to day 2 to day 3 to day 4. Similarly for events 3, and 4. Is that convenient to do?
