At home watching tv and trying to figure out what to feed the family for dinner that night we were living overseas at the time so it happened in the later afternoon for us.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

in my bedroom, laying in bed watching the end of The Today Show, before getting up and getting ready to go to the office...

I was kind of watching and kind of dozing...when I heard Matt and Katie say a small plane had flown into the World Trade Center....I thought I dreamt it....became alert, and was watching it when the second plane flew into the second tower.

I was stunned....I thought at first it had to be a movie being filmed and someone made a horrible mistake.

When the NBC guy at the Pentagon said there had been a loud thump...I just knew it was another plane.

I spent the day either sitting on my bedroom floor or in the chair.... glued to the TV screen....in shock, in tears...wondering what would be hit next...

That night we went to our local hangout...that should have been packed. There were only about 10 of us (all friends) in the bar area...all watching the TV.

When the TV showed the Congress people standing on the Capitol steps singing....we all sat there with tears running down our faces.
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already." – Dave Barry

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.
