10 years ago this week…

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…
