3011

Okay, I said in the last post that 100 years from now it would be 3011. People, I can't add. A hundred years from now, it will be 2111. Math: if it gets beyond counting fingers and toes, I can't do it.

I'm so good at math that I didn't bat an eye at your calculation. It looked good to me. Probably why I always ran my lemonade stands at a loss.

Like Heather didn't realise your math was off. And the wedding sounded lovely. Are you a big fan of Dutch licorice?
