I was at kindergarten. I don't remember exactly...1. I was at kindergarten. I don't remember exactly how I learned about it (whether the teacher told us), but I remember being aware that something very bad had happened. I remember walking down the red brick corridors and feeling kind of somber and scared. Don't remember anything after that.<BR/><BR/>2. Ask someone who cares. :D<BR/><BR/>3. In Kuwait. I remember people in Kuwait saying that it seemed strange that both Bush and Thatcher were out of their jobs, but Saddam Hussein was still in place.<BR/><BR/>4. It was all over the TV in Cyprus, where I was on holiday. I remember being somewhat perplexed by all the emotional outpouring.<BR/><BR/>5.I was in a shop in Cyprus. The shopgirls were all crowded around a small TV. I could see the pictures. I was shopping for a birthday present for a child; I don't think my kid went to the party even. I immediately went home without buying a gift. It was so frustrating-- the local TV was showing CNN but the Greek-speaking reporters were talking over the English and I couldn't understand anything. I remember a friend phoned me to ask what was going on. She was out of the house and calling me on her mobile. (I remember telling her that it was a Palestinian terrorist attack).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12379785.post-46632874759712166632008-09-06T18:53:00.000-04:002008-09-06T18:53:00.000-04:001.

World cup semifinal - living in Memphis; other than that couldn't tell you.<BR/><BR/>3. Thatcher's resignation - not interested. <BR/><BR/>4. Di's death - probably saw it on tv that night.<BR/><BR/>5. Twin Towers - in the library at Franciscan Univ. checking out books for a paper. Someone told me - I thought they must have some really bad weather; a few minutes the second one was hit and I knew it wasn't the weather. Went home to watch the news and call my friends. <BR/><BR/>6. Ratzinger = Pope - living in western Kentucky, waiting to go to work at a call center. Happened to flip the tv to EWTN when the white smoke went up. Was hoping they'd announce before I had to leave for work. When the announcement came, I too, fell to my knees thanking God, and crying. <BR/><BR/>Mary TAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
