Dear Ellen,
Like Christina, I am not tagging anyone as I do believe I’m out of bloggers. Herewith, my answers:
1. What I was doing 10 years ago:
Doing research and analysis as an associate fellow on the Chief of Naval Operations’ Strategic Studies Group.
2. What 5 things are on on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order):
Go see the quarters that have been assigned to us (the current resident invited us). Take the doggies on their morning walk (see previous post). Take my first block of training as an event assessor (watch officer in the command center). Finish one of my wavy ribs socks (I did, but was clearly in a brain fog when I did a standard bind-off on these toe up socks….now taking the bind-off out and redoing it is on tomorrow’s to-do list.) Give Dale many kisses. (I could have bored you with many other work things…the kisses were more fun.)
3. Snacks I enjoy:
sushi, sugar-free Popsicles, pretzels and hummus, almonds, tangelos, Ritter Sport; peanut buster parfait
4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Support cancer research, lobby for better immigration laws (supporting opportunities for citizenship), establish an education foundation dedicated to making good and creative education available to all, build a gathering place — a home in which to live with room for friends and family to come and stay and play and create and be with nature.
5. Places I have lived:
Medina, OH; Gainesville, FL; Fayetteville, NC; Spring Lake, NC; Cheltenham, MD; Alexandria, VA; Aiea, HI; Billerica, MA; Kingston, MA; West Point, NY; Burke, VA; Norfolk, VA; Middletown, RI; Jacksonville, FL; Arco Felice, Italy; Vienna, VA; Norfolk, VA; Portsmouth, VA; Colorado Springs, CO
Love, Jan

You military folk really outdo yourselves with the places lived question. I also like comparing the answers of those of us with half a century to those who are just barely out of their first quarter century. They have so much more detail on that what I was doing 10 years ago question. Check out Karen and Christina’s - very fun.

It’s fun seeing both of your answers — and wow, you have certainly lived in your share of places!
