I was having some fun with my girlfriend (at the time) on the couch when we took a breather and thought I'd turn on the news.<BR/><BR/>I stared in disbelief when I saw the second plane disappear and it took the newsreaders 20mins to figure out there was a second strike.

There were no planes flying anywhere in the country. I remember, once I got home from my business trip, standing in the Arizona desert and listening to the silence.Lisa Wineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924029943550959553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657521838090817442.post-79191634778949226052007-09-12T13:03:00.000-07:002007-09-12T13:03:00.000-07:00I will never forget where I was, who I was with an...I will never forget where I was, who I was with and how it was The.
