After that, no. It is like what they have done to baseball. There are so many statistics they have come up with that I have no clue what they mean. And right on cue, somebody sets a new record that I don't understand but it is historic. I long for the generation before mine, the Greatest Generation. Nothing they did was historic, it was just their job and they would tell you that.

There is also the Historical side of The Villages.
That must be nearly 40+ years old now.
I have a Historical suit older than that!
The other word I find that has/is losing its meaning is 'Hero.'
