There would never have been MiSTings if not for you. On this
day when you do not quite exist yet, let's all pause to thank you for
being part of our lives.

Also, thanks to Stephen Ratliff for being unlike anyone else.

According to the data file, Marrissa will be born July 26, 2358, making
this year her negative 347th birthday.

Now I can't be that unique. Though ...

In this galaxy, there's a mathematical probability of three million
Earth-type planets. And, in all the universe, three million million
galaxies like this. And in all of that – and perhaps more – only one of
each of us - Dr. McCoy, ST: TOS "Balance of Terror"

I somehow feel like I keep working out the year and then never
manage to remember it or keep it straight. Since it doesn't change and
is reasonably semicanonical you'd think I wouldn't have such trouble,
but I'm a mathematics PhD and therefore can't be expected to do tricky
stuff like arithmetic.

Nah, everybody's unique, just like everybody else. It's key
to the theory of language, if I'm not mistaken.

My degree is a BS in Interdisciplinary Studies with concentrations in
Computer Science and English. So I can't be expected to do tricky things
like spell correctly. As for Marrissa's age ... I have a spread sheet.

Fortunately, I avoided that in my English Concentration. (Which, to tell
the truth was actually mostly composed with Creative Fiction Writing
courses)
