had to call back and correct this to July 2016.

His response was at our age, July 4th is long range planning, call me next year.

But it's because we in Philadelphia have the Pope coming this year and the DNC next year. I keep saying/thinking both big events are this year.

-- I'm 66-- but I've been getting the year wrong on a regular basis for the last couple of years now. I know that at least part of it is that the actual year, 2015 right, just feels as if I've time-travelled into the future.
