Meme: A retropsective.

1986, Ah... I was young and thin. I may even have been wrinkle free. Does it matter what else happened? Oh all right... I was planning my wedding around that time. We would be married the following June. I didn't plan much as I recall. It was going to be a quasi elopement without actually leaving town, an outside civil ceremony with no bells or whistles, no guests except witnesses--much to the chagrin of DHM's family... friends arranged things slightly differently (as our friends are wont to do). Good times, good times.
10 years ago:
1996, This one reawakened a few dormant brain cells. DHM and I were touring around California after the big NCTA conference. We drove up from LA along the coast road. Stopped in San Luis Obisbo(sp?). DHM lived there for a while, long before he met me, But I think it was a good time in his life as he speaks often of his exploits there. It was a rediscovery trip on may levels as I remember. We'd left the Spawn with his grandma, and DHM and I got to act like we were a couple again instead of Mummy, and Daddy. It was my first trip to San Fransisco. DHM was eager to show me all the sights, but I much preferred Sausalito.
Things went all to hell when we got back, but that trip was a success.

April 2001, would have been about the time I began writing. It was still pretty much a lark, a determination to see if I could be in the 1% who actually finished a book. Well I did, and I'm still writing, and it doesn't seem so damn funny anymore.. so you. the person who dared me in the first place, thank you very bloody much for beginning an obsession that won't let me go.

April 2005, Homeschooling was in full swing. Raised the Spawn's reading level by two grades. Trying to figure out a strategy for more independent study on his part. (still working on that btw)
1 Month ago:
er.. let's see, that would be March 26th, pretty sure I was doing what I usually do. Might have had guests, might not. Who can remember?
