Dear Reader,
Apparently I don't know my friend, the ant (in Tuesday's column), as well as I thought I did. Because numerous readers--those pesky ones who breezed through Algebra and Calculus--emailed, informing me that I miscounted. "Ants have 6 legs, Suzanne, spiders have 8. Are you sure you weren't friends with a spider?"
My friend, the ant, does indeed have 6 legs. Why he didn't tell me this himself? I don't know. Especially, since for the past 30 years, I've been sending him four pairs of new tennies every year on his birthday, but all he really needed were six tennis shoes. (That's 3 pair, for any other inept mathematical "geniuses" like myself.)

Seriously, thank you for bringing the 6 legs to my attention. I really do love to hear from readers. I smiled, even laughed, reading each and every email about my mistake.
But not being able to keep track of numbers has its advantages, especially on your birthday. Today is mine. Using math ant, today I'm 55, plus those two extra legs!
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
Warmest regards,
Suzanne Beecher
