more meme mania

Thanks to Kate for tagging me. I don't know anyone else to tag that she didn't already list so you'll just have to count your blessings on this one. Here goes.

Ten years ago: Sharon and I had been married for 11 years and we had recently moved into our third house and were expecting our third child who was due any day. We had just put in a pool. I had been working at GMI for almost eight years.

Five years ago: I was working at GMI, living in the same house, and putting the third kiddie into Kindergarten. We didn't have a dog yet, but we had recently spent about $50K remodeling the house.

One year ago: I had just finished To Kill a Mockingbird and was looking forward to Dickens Fair. Still at GMI. Only one dog so far.
