I haven't been to ground zero yet. I wonder what it feels like. I definitely felt something when I went into the room at Parkland where Kennedy died.

My brother in law bailed on a meeting in one of the towers that morning. Thank god.

^ Jesus.. that's insane.
I still cant watch that footage. Knowing that there was so much death in that very instant (and sometime afterwards) overwhelms me.
Although geographically I am far removed from these incidents, I have a very clear memory of seeing the 2nd tower hit live on the news late at night here in Aust.. It was surreal and deeply sad to say the least.

I had a client scheduled for an afternoon meeting in one of the buildings (at Cantor Fitzgerald, which was relatively wiped out) and she called me from the street wondering what was going on, why it was cordoned off…and she still couldn't understand the severity because no words could describe it, and she was just on the street a few blocks away and couldn't see anything. This was just after I watched the 2nd tower get hit (I live 2 hours south, Philadelphia, and work in NYC often). My three children at the time were ages 10, 12, 14. About 1pm I disconnected the cable, and put the radios away, and so for a week they only had school discussion, some internet, and print. I felt there was no reason for them to see 400 replays of it every three minutes ad infinitum. People later told me there were constant replays of jumpers, and so on. I'm still glad I shut it down for as along as I did.

Mariana, the considerably better looking other half of Winchy&Co is currently in labour.
1) Therefore, please email or PM Paula or myself if you need anything urgently
2) Judging by the amount of bandwidth currently being devoured by P and her family it's a bloody good job that Gosport recently upgraded to a fiber optic backbone -
turns out: guilty as charged

Latest addition to the Iron Heart family
Alex Frank was born at 9am on Friday 28th Feb to delighted parents Mariana and Winchy (Matt), all are doing well. As his "grauntie" I might be a bit biased, but he is GORGEOUS.
