My grandfather came from Poland in 1902.  I just hope he did the

If he came after September, Dad was one year old. Ain't it great how, as
we age, time shrinks? Hell, I was born eighty two years after the Civil
War. I used to think that was a long time.
You and I have lived for about a third of this country's existence. Time

Random thoughts on a Thursday

It might be random but seeing time as a continuum rather than as being
before and after one's birth-date is a good thing. What blows my mind is
that all our American cowboy mythos takes place during a narrow period
of time after the American Civil War and about the 1920's. Mixing up
cowboys with the modern age just doesn't seem right.
