I understand perfectly! You'll note that the count of 491 was the dice
CURRENTLY residing in the bag I take to games. I have a few dozens more
hanging around the house. (Doesn't everyone have sets of dice beside their
bed in case the wake up in the middle of the night and need them?) At

more dice. Now, he has learned to not only indulge me, but participate.
After all, what is a Christmas stocking without SOME dice in the toe?
