Well, yes. I have a weird thing for historical dates being important, too. The rhythms of history, I call it. I have a notion for a graduate paper that entails life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness occurring in America at 89-year intervals on the approximate weekend of Independence Day: 1776 (the Declaration; life); 1865 (liberty; Lincoln's conspirators hanged, hence the end of the Civil War and a symbolic true end to slavery); and 1954 (happiness; Elvis records his first song at Sun Studios, and the pure products of America go crazy, meaning sex sex sex!!!).
