Something like that. Complicated by the question "who is asking?" :-)

Another interesting thought I saw somewhere:

The cosmological horizon is not unlike an event horizon - things moving 
towards it are going faster and faster relative to us, and hence are slowing 
down time-wise[1].  Perhaps the background microwave radiation is really 
just all the galaxies that used to be close red-shifted waaaaay down as they 
pile up near the border of the observable universe.



[1] Do they really slow down (for us) if their speed is caused by new space 
being created?  I have no idea, but from what I know of it, I think the 
answer is "yes".
