Congrats, Charlie!



I'm sure all your grandchildren are great, too, but then you've got more great grandchildren than just 2; blood relatives are so confusing!


Anyway, congrats for all the progeny growing off your branch of your family tree.
Speaking of generations and congratulations for birthdays, today is the 249th birthday of the USA!



Did you realize that if a male were born on July 4, 1776 and then fathered a son born exactly 83 years later, and then that son, at age 83, fathered a son (or daughter) of his own who also lived to be 83, those 3 generations combined would have witnessed the entire national history of the USA up to today?
Unlikely, since not a lot of 83 year olds are having kids, but it could have happened!
