Sept 12, 2006

This is the day after. No photos. Very mixed emotions. For one, the media has just have to stop. Not only do they just over do the 9-11 incident, they just plain kill the personal view of it. This was the time in my life were I was still to have my first date with my now wife. Two weeks later, we had our first date. Stevie Nicks (more on that on a later date). At the shop that I am still working on, our neighbor, and friend, Bruce came over and told us that a bomb went off at the WTC building, the three of us, John, Dan and I took turns going next door to Bruce's TV and watch in astonishment what was really going on. We had customers and friends and family affected directly to all three incidents. For all that went on, I keep saying, the next 2-3 weeks I remember everyone in the area were very nice, and courteous with each other. I didn't hear a horn honk on the very busy Germantown Ave at all. Days later, people that came in realized that our lives were Not all that bad and that we all had a greater idea of how well we had things.
Not only at work but, everywhere else. From the streets I drove to the grocery store to the malls and everywhere else. Sometimes it didn't have to be said but, felt with one on one. The only thing about 9-11 I wish remained were those 2-3 weeks with each other to have lasted longer than it did. I hope everyone remembers those days after as I did and take time to ignite those feelings about others if you already don't already. I do not always, but try to. That's all I, and you can do. God Bless Us.
