Decade full of fun

So, apparently Yahoo! is psychic and seems to know when I'm lacking blog topics and now lists these freebie questions every so often to keep me in the game. The one I found recently is "What were you doing 10 years ago today?" Goodness time flies when I'm having fun!
I can't nail the exact day, however this time in 1996 (and that does NOT seem so long ago!) I had just turned 20. Funny how some birthdays stand out more than others and that one doesn't. I was taking 2 classes at Auburn--Spanish and Philosophy. I only took 2 classes so I wouldn't have to move back home for the summer or secure gainful employment in Auburn, thus allowing me more play time. I do remember many a trip to Atlanta, including the Olympics where I saw Cuba vs. Italy play baseball. Not as thrilling as track and field, but keeping in tune with my disturbing proximity to tragic world events this game was the afternoon following the Olympic Park bombing. That summer also brought a lot of mountain biking, trips to the Stone Mountain Laser Light Show, and Chewacla State Park for hikes and picnics.
Ahhh....Auburn really is the loveliest village of the Plains!!

What do you remember back then?!
