It's not the number--it's the position. I mean, when I get to be 400, and I can reasonably hope to live to be 15,000, I look back at what I've accomplished, what I haven't, and there's no longer the sense that I had at fifteen that there was all the time in the world. But there isn't--there's only 14,600 years.
Aha! I have just made the connection that you and my cousin share the same birthday, so hopefully I will remember more specifically than "beginning of July" in the future.
