Playing Tag Online

I have been introduced to a Meme. If you don't Know what a Meme is, go to The Daily Meme and read about one. Kate Ahern at teaching learners with multiple needs tagged me for one so here it goes:

The Rules…

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.

Here are the questions:

1. What were you doing 10 years ago?

My wife and I had just gotten back from a week in New Orleans with 3 other couples.
