Back to the Future

• Ten years ago - I was getting ready to move into Mary Markley for my Freshman year at the University of Michigan. I would spend the next year rooming with a Thai pre-med student with dubious English skills. Still had a blast. Made some good friends, almost none of whom I talk to any more (it's the friends from Sophomore year that stuck).
• Five years ago - I was 8 months into my 16 month adventure at Global Food Exchange (dot com), one of those consultant-run get-rich-quick startups that never really got started. My first job, and a good study in how not to run a software company.
• One year ago - Working hard on bug fixing for a product release. We'd just adopted Gandalf the Gray.
• Yesterday - Started as a continuation of the day before, sitting in the studio theater of the Chicago Shakespeare Theater's late-night show of Romeo and Juliet The Musical, or The People Vs. Friar Lawrence, the Man who Killed Romeo and Juliet (go if you can, it's hilarious); after which, we visited and stayed with the Deputy Executive Director of the theater (one of the few remaining Freshman Year friends). After a paltry rest, we had lunch with my brother and his girlfriend in Evanston, and drove the 6 hours home (3 of which is getting out of the Chicago area). Read the new Serenity comic, ate some pizza, played with my new camera, and went to bed.
• Tomorrow - Who can say? I'll either be working on my current project here or flying out of town to discuss its implementation with a customer.
