Oh, I can do math. I just don't have the stamina to build, maintain, or troubleshoot large systems of information.... I can admit that this is one of my weaknesses as an editor as well. It's not just in math; it's in general.

If I really followed my instincts and true interests, I would have become a professional artist of some kind.
