So Blogging again on a Friday afternoon and what a day it has been ...

Got up early to stack wood. Stacking wood is part of the duties I have around her in order to keep a roof over my head. My folks split the house and their downstairs area is heated by a wood stove during the wintertime. Since my dad gave himself a heart attack and a stroke (two different years) messing with the wood, it's been up to me to stack and haul wood each year so they have wood for the fire.

I had an idea for the main page with listings sort of like they are now. Straight down the side with seasons and pop up pictures to help navigate the site. Originally it was going to be the popup pictures and a caption to go with the pictures but after playing with Fireworks a little, I figured I couldn't get a constant space to add the text for the captions. Some of our captions are huge. Plus, I was concerned that I'd be giving too much away if I did that. It was bad enough that I was already giving away some of the plots with the pictures. Didn't want to spoil the stories by giving away more.

11:38 PM Tuesday Late

First, I hope that everyone is safe. Just way out of it now and free flowing Blogging.

I'm Blogging on one of the worst nights in the nation's history. Four Planes went down today, three of them striking national landmarks. New York is in chaos, Washington DC is a mess, and across the country things are shut down.

The latest reports have a truck filled with explosives was pulled over by the George Washington Bridge that leads to NYC in NJ. I'm hoping this is just one of the weird rumors of the day, but god only knows at this point.

Sitting here on a Wednesday night. I really should be in EQ since I promised my best friend that I'd go in, but I sort of want to say a few things before I go in there. Besides, I can't do anything else in EQ. While I want to hang out with some friends, I can be more of a help and get things off my mind better out here for now than in there.

I'm watching a prayer vigil with congress right now. A huge flag went up on both the tower of the wreckage of the world trade center and the pentagon this morning.

10:42 AM Sunday 9/16/01

Writing on a very weird Sunday. Just some random thoughts on paper. Electronic as it is.

For the first time in my lifetime there will be no NFL, no NHL, no NBA or Professional Baseball on a Sunday when they were either in season or in preseason and games were scheduled.

There are still no flights out of the major airport in DC.

Another sad Friday afternoon here.

It was almost a week ago that TechTV took time out to catch up with its viewers. For an entire hour the programming focused on interact and community. The intent was to see if we, the viewers, were doing okay in light of the terrorists attacks that rocked the nation.

To me it was a powerful hour. It showed us all how important that we are to them -- and it was good to hear from a lot of the folks I've met in chat and that they were okay.
