One quarter....

It came to me the other day, and I usually don't think this way. But as I realized we were celebrating the 240th birthday of our country, it came to me that I have been alive for more than one quarter of that history.

Not sure how I feel about that. Anybody over 60 is the same.

When the bicentennial was celebrated, my life had only covered 1/10 of US history.
