MEME, MYSELF, AND I

I’ve been double tagged by Alyson and Alyssa. Sorry it took so long.

10 Years Ago Today I was living in Jacksonville, FL. I took a rare ‘me’ vacation. I went to Vegas for the first time. I read black jack books prior to the trip so I’d be ready to play. I ended up winning over $300. “Beginner’s luck,” my friends said. “Don’t ever come back,” they said. I haven’t since.

Five Years Ago Today I was living in Coudersport, PA. Home of Big Brother. I owned a small ranch-style house with 3 acres of land. Can you picture this big-city boy riding on a lawn tractor? Comical.

1 Year Ago Today Oh my. I was living in here in Plantation. It was one year ago that CBG and I started forming a wonderful friendship. {Sigh}

Yesterday All my troubles seemed so far away…

Tomorrow I might see a movie. War of the Worlds? Wedding Crashers? Fantastic 4? Anyone seen anything good lately?
