Couple of moments are burned in my brain like it happend a minute
ago...

I was serving detention with only Miss Douglas and myself in the 4rth
grade classroom when I learned JFK was dead. I was doodling on an
Indian chief tablet.

Ten years ago today, I was picking Wealthy apples with my honey.
Second tree from the end of row 225. We were talking about the bad
accident in New York when we learned the second plane hit. My picking
bag was half full and I was reaching up for a couple more apples. My
honey was walking back toward the tractor.

I do also remember the first step on the moon. But not in the same
vivid like it just happend a second ago detail. of course, we were all
a bit more prepared for this.

As I live on the W coast, it was still early and I was sound asleep. The
phone rang, and an otherwise un-excitable friend yelled:

'Are you watching?!?!?'

'Watching what' I mumbled...

'Turn on the TV! Go go go go!!!' Remember thinking something musta
really hit the fan for him to be calling and so agitated...

'Huh... what channel' I asked.

'It doesn't matter!!! 'Just get it on' he screamed!

Almost stopped by the bathroom... but remember thinking 'I need to know
what the hell is this all about first'

I'd only been awake maybe 30 seconds thus far, ran in bleary eyed and
turned it on... the first images were of the second tower being hit...
at first I thought it was a tape replay, but soon realized I'd seen it
hit live....
