Year end project

I sent the following in an e-mail to my husband, partly because I think it's funny but also because it is the way his brain works.

I thought it was pretty clever, myself. Sorry about the formatting; I wish you could use the Tab button in the body of your posts. Or, if you can, then I haven't figured it out. So try and look past the weird spaces and carriage returns. Also, just in case you don't guess: I'm Mama, he's Papa. We're dorks.
