Fifteen Years Ago Today (July 1994)
27 July 2009Second in the “Years Ago Today” series. See http://www.greenberg.org/archives/139.
Where were we in 1994? Oh yes, I was working for 3Com. That gig was 12 years long, so may be a recurring theme. Technology was so different, but we were seeing the shape of things to come. There was no World Wide Web. I was working to bring Lotus Notes out to the entire company of over 10,000 people.
In the “Ten Years” post, I mentioned that I was beginning my term as Master of my Masonic Lodge. Fifteen years ago, I had been a Mason for one year. Masonry had and would lead me to many valued friendships, and would teach me a lot.
In 1994, I was actively riding motorcycles. I had a Yamaha Venture Royale motorcycle that I rode to work every day. My main vacationing activity was motorcycle touring. I had taken one sabbatical and crossed the country, and several more long motorcycle rides were in my future.
I’m struck by the fact that so much of life is lived by just “plugging along.”
