On this date in WWF history: Smackdown! becomes the first public assembly of its size held in the wake of 9/11
On September 13, 2011, just two days after the tragedy in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C., World Wrestling Federation (WWF) held the first public assembly of its kind with a live edition of Smackdown! in Houston, Texas. It is not my intention to turn this post into some sort of...

Ten Years Ago Today: 9/11
Most of the events that live in your memory are personal ones: weddings, births, getting fired because you knew the Serial Shooter [oh, wait - just me...]. But occasionally, there's something so momentous that you remember it, even though you weren't directly involved. Ten years ago today, the...
Thoughts/memories of 9/11
I know a lot of you have deeper thoughts and memories of 9/11 than I, so let's hear them. Especially Jesse, who communicated to me a moving story. Mine is below the fold. Post yours in the comments. Never forget. 9/11/01 was just another day here in Oriental. My wife & I were getting ...
A decade later, we remember.
Yesterday, my step-daughter asked me what was so special about today. She is only 11 and therefore too young to remember, and probably still too young to learn the significance what happened that day. I just hope she doesn't have to experience anything like it in her lifetime. The morning of...
Where Were You That Day?

Today is the tenth anniversary of a day that changed the way we live forever. It also happens to be the first Sunday of the 2011 NFL season. The NFL will pay tribute at every one of its games today, culminating with the Sunday Night game in New Jersey, and I have no doubt that I'll repeatedly get...
The Past Ain't What It Used to Be
Sometimes I wonder what it was like to live through major historic events. Not to have participated in them necessarily, but to merely have lived at that time and have a better sense of what contemporary folks felt and thought and believed. What was it like to live through the Civil War and not...

One Day in Kevlar
This was a story I put together back for that Teams of Class promotion earlier this season. It never made it up but I'm going to re-purpose it as it seems to strike the right note for tonight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since 9/11, the...
