Thanks, rex. Until I saw this post today, I had forgotten that today is 9-11. But you can give me a bit of a break, I've only been awake for 15 minutes. There are other things I was thinking about (there is a reptile show, two of my friends have birthdays today), but you just reminded me what was really important about today.

It's wierd though, I think my subconsious remembered it was 9-11, because right before I woke up (15 minutes ago) I was having a nightmare that there were huge explosions going off in LA and I was driving on the freeway trying to get away, but the freeway was collapsing. It was a horrible dream. But it was just a dream. I also had a dream earlier in the night that I was going to take a vacation to New York. Weird.

I don't think any of us will forget that horrible day in history. It's like one of those "Where were you when Kennedy was shot" things but way worse. It changed our country and changed our lives, especially for those who lost loved ones in the attacks. Today my thoughts will be with those people, the victims who were lost, and our soldiers who are now at war.
