Where Were You Nine Years Ago Today?

I was in Portland, OR and I called my Mom to say goodbye, because I thought surely the world would come to an end that day.

I was here in Vegas with my former partner. I remember getting up to go to the bathroom, first thing, and getting stuck "on the throne" with no t-paper. I called to Jan to ask her to hand me a new roll when I heard her yell, "Hey, we're under attack!!". I kept saying, "Gimme some t-paper!! WHAT??!!".

(I think I went drip-dry).

Here, in Vegas, they evacuated the Stratosphere tower, they locked down all areas of Nellis AFB, including the hospital where I work. McCarran International Airport was grounded and Nellis was scrambling its fighter aircraft over the skies of Las Vegas and Boulder City, where Hoover Dam is. Hoover Dam provides a good share of the electricity that not only powers Southern Nevada, but also Southern California with all of its military facilities.

I was in my office at my company around the corner from the WTC in New Orleans..

My phone rang off the hook as everyone thought it was our WTC..

I never had the TV on but that morning I did, and saw the second tower get hit.

Life would never be the same.
