I think I was tagged for this Meme by someone but honestly, I wasn’t sure what to do. Nancy, thanks for the directions.

1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read the player’s blog.
4. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

OK, so now the questions.

What were you doing ten years ago?

10 years ago, 1998. I was still teaching full time and working with the HVWP, lots of time and directing a winter play and getting used to my relationship with Tuvia and still living in my small and sweet apartment in Piermont, NY.
