Another one for Cass....

10 Years Ago: I was 29. We had just moved into our first house. We were thinking about another child. I decided to take time off from the chorus to go to Apprentice school. My best friend was dying from Leukemia.

5 Years Ago: I would have been 35. Moved into the company office full time to clean up the mess left behind when our book keeper was arrested for embezeling money. Found out that I had a talent for estimating, or at least I didn't hate it as much as anyone else in the office. Re-joined the chorus. I had been teaching a high school drum line and color guard. I loved it, but it strained my marriage a lot. Good move on my part.

1 Year Ago: Joe, Baritone in my quartet called and asked me to be in his wedding, and by the way did I want to sing in a quartet. In a word I was flabbergasted. Secretly, I was hoping that perhaps all these years later, someone was ready to fill the spot in my life that Tim had left empty. I still don't know the answer to that, but things are good.
