Ok, before I start getting all flocky this morning, I want to have one of my rare serious moments...
The average person will experience a handfull of life changing events in their lifetime. 9/11 was one of them. My wife and I hadn't been dating long, so for some reason this day sticks out more to me than any other day of the year, even more than the 4th of July. I know everyone remembers where they were (except maybe BR

). I can't believe that seniors in high school were babies when that happened.
I was a superintendent on a construction job at a nuclear power plant on 9/11. I heard people talking about it all day, but had not seen the footage. The plant was near an airport, and the first thing you noticed was there wasn't a plane in the sky. By lunchtime we had two F-16s flying cover. On 9/11, you could hold up your badge to the guard at the entrance and he would wave you through. On 9/12, there was a mile long wait to get in while the national guard did thorough searches of every vehicle.
The thing I remember the most, after seeing the shocking carnage on television when I got home, was the national pride that started on 9/12. Before the politics and religion took over, do you guys remember all of the American flags people were flying in their windows? I know, for me, NY might as well have been another country before 9/11. Now, every year, I watch NGTV for 3 days straight to see the stories of the peoples lives that were affected. It makes me cry...
I just wanted to share that this morning, and I'm sure many of you feel reflective on this day as well.
Enough of that. Personality profiles at lunch
