Well Daniel, I hate to call on Captain Obvious here, but I think I may require his services. Publicly.

It is four years, and the incongruity was actually the point of my post. That is why I put the number of years in italics and mentioned that one of the things I learned about Lia was her inability to keep track of time.

This is a little thing we like to call humor. This specific brand isn’t exactly sarcasm, nor is it irony. You might say that I invented it and called it icasm. You might, except that Apple already trademarked that so I used the term sarony instead.

Of course it is possible that your post was also a case of sarony. In which case you will also need to page Captian Obvious to the white courtesy phone to inform me of your own use of humor.

This is a vicious loop that can probably only be settled with beers. E-mail me and we’ll work out a time/place.
