It was the radio

Eight years ago today, I listened to Peter Jennings narrate the 9/11 tragedy. I was on a business trip via car to Michigan and didn't actually see any images of the Twin Towers, Pentagon or Shanksville, Pa., until 7:30 that evening. I witnessed this tragedy through radio, which was still a heartbreaking experience. To hear his voice - and those of the other correspondents and people being interviewed - break with emotion was heartwrenching.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family and friends of those lost on that day.

A kick in the pants

Some days, it's just nice to be reminded...

Ahhh, for the love of fall

While many people are grudgingly being pulled into fall (probably due to the lack of more than two days over 90 all summer), I'm happy to run-full-speed-with-my-arms-wide-open into it. It's my hands-down, absolute favorite season of the year.

For the top 10 reasons why I love fall, see my post from this time last year. (Note that I did get to carve a pumpkin last year.)
