I was in bed in Phoenix when the first plane hit. My had the news on and she woke up saying a plane had hit the WTC. I brushed it off at first, then remembered a plane hit the Empire State Building in the 1940s. So I got up, poured myself a glass of OJ, and sat down just in time to watch the second plane hit the second tower. It was a moment of my life I will never forget.

I called my mother in California; She loved NYC and would want to know. She was pissed that I called by eventually turned on the TV. A short time later I touched base with Steve Lightspeed and Tanker; Steve quickly decided we would all stay home. We watched the events unfold from home and talked on ICQ. Later that day I did lunch with Steve - one of the oddest meals I've ever had. We were the only ones there besides the staff; The place was silent and even Steve and I talked in hushed voices.
