10 Years Ago Today

Note: I’m leaving the graphics in, even though they keep screwing up the formatting, because I think a person’s Twitter photo is a big part of their “personality”.

The subject line of Tuesday afternoon’s HARO email was called “10 Years Ago Today”. And while I think Peter was referring to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act that enacted digital rights management, it made me think.

On October 28, 1998, I was:

Point is, I didn’t really know much about anything. Exactly one year later, I was wandering around Rome. And I don’t know if I know a much more about anything, ten years later, but I’ve sure made sure I’ve seen more.

10 years ago I was studying 2nd year music theory, doing volunteer music therapy visits at hospice, playing tenor sax in our college marching band, diligently preparing for my junior flute recital, and dealing with a lot of male friend-related drama. Oh yeah, and drinking an awful lot of hairy buffalo and Milwaukee’s Best Light. I was classy!
