Past 10 Years

This past weekend was my 10 year high school reunion.  No, I did not go.  Just wasn't in the mood for that.  Sometimes it feels like I was in high school last week and sometimes I can't even remember things that happened then it has been so long.  Regardless, I have not wasted any time over years.  Here's a little time line to catch anyone up who's interested.
