What I was doing ten years ago

Let's see, summer of 1995, I was working for the Law Enforcement Academy, had started to date women and I think I had met my first wife, Grace. I was almost 23, I remember thinking that 23 was so old and what the hell was I going to do with the rest of my life.

What I was doing five years ago

2000, 27 years old, my favorite year. I was working for the Larry Miller group, married to Grace, and for some reason, this was a good year for me. I had survived a surgery (gallbladder) and persistant migraines and was raring to go!

What I was doing one year ago

Hmmm... Lindi and I had been married almost a year and we had celebrated her 35th birthday. While I was a mere 31.

Yesterday

Took a pee test for eBay, went to work, had lunch with Scott, went back to work, faked working, went home, made zucchini brownies, ate dinner, watched half of a movie and 3 episodes of Trauma: Life in the ER and went to bed, woke up to our swamp cooler on fire... yeah it was a joyful evening.
