Ooops,. got tagged (again)

Phil got tagged, now he's tagged me.

10 Years Ago Today:
I was living back in Houston and had been semi-retired for 2 years. Spent most of my days and nights drinking at Griff's Inn. I also umpired amateur and semi-pro baseball games, then went to Griff's Inn afterward. Occasionally did yard work at my mother's house.

Five Years Ago:
I was working in Newfoundland (NE Canada). Spent 4 months there getting to know the people. I worked hard, but played hard too. St John's is famous for having more bars per capita than any city in North America. I felt right at home.

1 Year Ago:
Three weeks shy of my first AA birthday. Atending 14-17 AA meetings every week. Reluctantly looking for employment. Was feeling pretty much happy, joyous and free after working the 12 steps and recently putting closure to my former relationship. Learning to enjoy a new way of life.

Yesterday:
Attended my 2 AA meetings at 8:30am and 8:00pm. In between, spent a few hours with my mother on business issues and a little yard work. Of course, spent my obligatory 2 or 3 hours on the computer, as well.

Tomorrow:
Will attend 2 AA meetings, as usual. I get to take my mother to a doctor appointment in the morning. My Higher Power fills in the rest of my hours for me, if I so choose to allow Him/Her.
