A Rare Triple Digit Year

 I will have to double check this, but I think this is the third and final triple  digit year of my life.

First, what is a triple digit year?  It is one with three (of the four) digits being the same.  So, for me, born in 1962, the only three are:  1999, 2000 and 2022. I missed the one before I was born: 1911 and am unlikely to live to see 2111.  Also, two of my three daughters will see exactly the same three and I have seen.  It is possible that they could live to 2111, Humans have lived to be that old, but sans major medical breakthroughs, it seems unlikely. 

Further thoughts on the pattern of qualifying years:

The first one was 111, then 222 etc. 111 years between each, until 999, then 1000. 1011, 1101, 1110, 1111, 1112 and every year till 1119, then 1121, 1131 etc till 1191, then 1211, 1222, 1311, 1333, 1411, so every 111 years plus any year ending in 11.  That takes us to the years talked about in the present time. Once we get into the 22's, then it will be a lot like the 11's--any year ending with 2 or all years in the 222's.
