Making some progress. Time really flies by, doesn't it? Regan's theory is that when you are ten, a year is long, because you've only had 10 of them. As you age, they get shorter because you have more and more, and each one is a smaller percentage of your life. I know there's something wrong with that, but it almost sounds feasible. LOL
