so i dont usually do these ‘meme’ things..

10 years ago: Lived in Colorado Springs. Worked for SSDS at Peterson AFB. I had just met Amy in person. Was still in the process of divorcing Jewels. Let Julie move in. I spent much of my day on IRC, both at work and at home. I still had that black Nissan pickup. I went to Dragonfest for the first time about now, 10 yrs ago. I was drumming again. I think I’d started collecting drumcircle information but hadn’t gotten the drumcircle.org domain yet.
5 years ago: Riding high on dotcom-era wages, I was hanging out with a bunch of kids who liked to play techno records really loud out in the middle of nowhere. I prolly went throgh a couple contracts that year. I prolly took more drugs this year than any other year, and in a greater variety than ever. I drove Amy’s Honda Passport around a lot.
1 year ago: I was working at supersign, broke all the time. Michelle was just about to be laid off by promotech. we had the biggest drumcircle of the season this month.
yesterday: I put the database-driven calendar up in a production place on www.drumcircle.org. Need to do a bunch of coding.
