Sept 11

Hi

The only day I remember exactly how I was dressed was for Sept. 11. It started just like one of those classic tragedies, where the beginning is very idyllic and it ends with bloodshed and mayhem. I remember it was a very warm Tuesday morning and I was wearing black slacks and a Beige Blazer I bought from a now defunct store - Cadanian. Mom asked me what was I doing today and I said, I was going to Kung Fu and did my little Kung Fu fighting song dance that was popular in the 80's.

Anyway, when I was in my office I saw some commotion going on at my boss' office. I asked and I was told that the tower was burning. I went and saw and immediately prayed for the people there and for the firefighters.

Then an hour and a half later....... no need to say more.....

After I left work, I saw some Asian tourists taking pictures on 5th avenue with Empire State in the back ground, I work a block away, and smilling. I know what they were thinking - it might not be there later on so they take pictures now as momentos.

I walked home, went to church to pray for the souls lost and for their loved ones and only saw 4 people in church at that moment, about 11:15 am or so, then I got McD food for my ladies at home, they were not gonna cook on that day, and went to my home. I saw this chick who lived in my building totally in distress - why? she had 2 big dogs and was unable to walk them because too many people in the street - she had NO IDEA of what happened! She did not turn on her tv nor radio.

Then I had to call my friend Joanna and I got to call her today - Its her Birthday. 9/11.
