Can I run multiple instances of Calendar widget?

OK, here goes my first post.

I have the calendar syncing with my gmail calendar, which has multiple calendars inside (mine, my wifes, ours, baseball schedule, cavs schedule, etc..)

I also have the stock "mail" (not Gmail) application syncing with my exchange at work.

Since I got 7 home screens to work with, I wanna put my Gmail calendar on home screen #1, and my exchange calendar on home-screen #7. Sort of a seperation of home and work :)

So I put the stock widget on home-screen#1, and again on home-screen#7. But a widget is basically just a frontend for an app running in the background. When I go to home-screen#1 and select MINE, WIFES, and CAVS.......that selection affects the widget on home-screen #7 as well. I go to screen #7, tell it to display Exchange only.......and when I go back to #1, it is switched to exchange.

So.....any way to do what I want?
1) Have a calendar on home-screen#1 that shows my Gmail calendar(s)
2) Have a calendar on home-screen#7 that shows my Exchange calendar

Interested to hear yall thoughts,
FJ
