I remember I was still working at Boeing and I was sitting at my desk listening to the radio, while I was working, when they interrupted and said that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. I went to an internet site, caught a live feed from one of the news stations, and watched in horror.
I spent over fifteen years of my youth growing up about 70 miles outside of New York City and I remember the skyline from the harbor. I was really taken back as I could not believe what I was seeing and hearing. My first thoughts were of my family especially some of the extended family aunts, uncles and cousins that lived and or worked in and around the city.
So today with the news shows showing the same pictures again brought back some of the same emotions from five years ago. I had a hard time thinking about doing anything today.
I did manage to load up the SUV with some things to take to Goodwill, and we did actually take the stuff to the drop off center. We also stopped by the bank and straightened out the account that the payment comes out of and then stopped at Winco and did some grocery shopping.
We did not need a lot, but just enough to make shopping necessary. After putting away our purchases, I pretty much crashed. Partly because for the second day in a row Kathleen’s Acura alarm went off and I was not able to get back to sleep.
Well, I am too tired to think of anything else to write about so I will just say…good night!
