September 11, 2001 - These are my memories of that day. When the first airplane hit, my supervisor in Miami called us and said something like a small plane hit the World Trade Towers. At that time he said it was a small commuter plane. We put on public radio and they were more descriptive about what actually happened. I think by that time both towers had been hit and the news about the Pentagon was coming in. For some reason we couldn't get any TV stations so the rest of the day we were listening to public radio as they talked about the possibility of a fourth plane attack in DC. I don't remember if they confirmed the downed flight in PA while I was at work. Now during these events I have a sister-in-law who flies for United and a friend who was returning from a European trip. We couldn't reach my sister-in-law and had no way of contacting my friend. Eventually that day we found out that my sis-in-law was fine, she wasn't flying that day. But my friend's flight had been diverted to Newfoundland where she had to stay a few days. She sent us an email which I think I still have six years later. During her "visit" she made new friends and has actually gone back there to see the people that were so nice to her while stranded so far from home.

Ok, I wasn't quite truthful when I said that I would post a journal of our move experience from San Juan. We moved to Chicago in 2003 and it is now, um...September 2007. Yeah, a lot of life has gone by while ignoring this blog. Maybe it's because blogs got all popular and were cool to have. I don't necessarily do things because they are cool or popular. I'm usually quite the opposite.
Anyway, the main reason why I have come back to this blog is two-fold. One, a friend of mine from Jacksonville started a blog about our high school friends and our recent Girls' Weekend back in Florida. In order to see her blog I had to log in and by doing so was reminded by Google that I still have this blog hanging out in the blogsphere. So, I've decided to reinstate this blog since I've finally come back to it. Secondly, there are some things in my life that I may need therapy for in the really near future, so it's good to have a handy dandy Therapy in a Box session if needed.
So, bye for now and I promise to post something sooner than later.
