I was born in 1950 which is 1 less than 1951. If you add up the digits
in 1950 that is 15, which is 1 less than how old I was in 1966 and
adding up the digits in 1951 is 16! Omigod! If you add up the digits
in 1966 that's 22. Which is 1 less than 23, which is when I got married
(in 1973)! And if you add up 1973, that's 20 which is 1 less than 21
which is 1 less than 1966 adds up to! I think I'm going to faint!
