My friend Bruce Wittenberg called me yesterday to remind me that he knew where I was 10 years ago. San Diego, to be specific, as a partner in a small technology integration firm.
March 26, 1997 was also the date the Heaven's Gate cult decided to hitch a ride on the mothership hiding in the tail of the Hale-Bopp comet, as it passed Earth. This was accomplished by committing suicide – all 39 of them. I sure hope it was worth it…
Since my parents still really don't know what it is that I do, besides "computer stuff," my Mom had my Dad call me to make sure I was still alive and not mixed up in any of that stuff. Actually, I think several of my friends worried the same thing. :)
I was working so much at the time, that I hadn't even heard the news till my Dad told me.
Besides, that hole shaved-head celibate thing really wouldn't appeal to me…
