Subject: "Recently" is relative

I'm chuckling over "recently (a few decades)".  I, too, am at the age where I 
say "recently" and mean something like that.  My grandchildren won't understand 
that for quite a while yet.

I suppose it will go on forever.  When I'm 10 000 years old, I'll think 
"recently" is any time in the previous millennium.
