i will be eating a retro TV dinner. I am a fan of those types of things when they taste good and lets face it, they will still be around in 2020. It will be be bought at a supermarket and i will be eating alone in my apartment in NYC. It tastes like home, of roast chicken and mashed potatoes. There beans with it and a parsley butter sauce.

Health is important to the existence of the human race and advancing our technology from today's hard ware will create new horizons with which we may explore.
