Topic: 8 years ago today.....

Nearly 3,000 innocent people from 90 different countries lost their lives at the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia and in a field near Shanksville in rural Pennsylvania.

I think a moment of silence today would be appropriate.

Hard to believe it's been 8 years! Still a bitter pill to swallow.

It's been 8 years and I still have to hold back the tears when I think about it.

When I was a child I spoke as a child, But all I heard was how I should get ahead,
Now growing up it ain't anything but all This indecision with these debts and doubts
And worries hanging over my head. When I was a child I spoke as a child,
I wish I could remember what I said.

NEVER FORGET!!!! I was just downtown here in Benicia having coffee w/ Jimi Dunlop for a reason I will post about L8tr and checked the Benicia fire Dept.'s display of equipment parked on 1st St. (our Main St.) to commemorate their fallen brothers. I'm sure there will be a moment of reflection tonight @ Konocti Harbor by Lynyrd Skynyrd @ which J Dawg will be in attendance. No doubt there will be a LOT of flag wavin' too.

Re: 8 years ago today.....

There's an article in the local Journal today about a retired NYC firefighter from my county who quit his job (because the boss wouldn't give him time off) and went back to help his brothers clean that mess up and save who they could.  He died from lung cancer earlier this year. 

He was one of our yoga-masters.  He taught in one of our studios.  There will be a benefit for Mrs.Tony and kids this month.  I contributed Salsa for the silent auction.  The Divine Ms.Tia will attend a 3 set memorial class in his honor.

On 9/25, exactly 2 weeks later, they found my mother dead on the floor.  Not a good year.

My Sentiments Exactly. So much heartache that will never fully heal. May we never see the likes of that day again.
