Holy shit! I'm sorry, BH. That must have been awful.

How's this for a first post? My son was involved in a robbery in which a 24y/o mother of 2 was stabbed to death. At first I adopted the theory, my son, right or wrong but over time I've seen no remorse and regret standing by him.

I'm beginning to like the burnig kitten story a lot more.

Welcome Newmanae. That is a dramatic entrance. I can't imagine how difficult that must be for you. I don't know what I'd do in your shoes.
How long ago was this?

It was 8 yrs ago, my sons been in jail since about 3 months after it happened, he turned 26 recently and will get out in 7 yrs.

I'm sitting in my office on Sunday evening with about a week's worth of work staring at me. For some reason I haven't been able to concentrate lately and I've let it pile up. I have to get it done by 8:30 in the morning and I'm STILL unable to get a good head of steam going.

I'm here, aren't I? I have no business surfing the net. I should be working.

It's really starting to play with my sanity. I have a good 8 hours of work to do. So now I'm going to start for real. Really.

After I get a burger. Dammit.

Snap? That's why I play music. Metal is a great medium for venting, as long as you dont try to overangst it. A ballsy riff's a lot better than whiney, bitching lyrics.

On 9/11 I was sent home from the office because it was not only feared that general infrastructure might be targeted, but also because no one was getting anything done and management felt it better to just send everyone home to cope. After general confusion, several hours worth of news and making sure my friends in DC were safe, I went out with a group of people to grab a burger and a drink to get our minds off of what happened. Following that, I noticed something strange in all of the horror: since I knew everyone important to me was okay, everything took on the soft calm of a snow day and, for some moments, I kind of enjoyed it. No work, no traffic, no aircraft rumbling overhead on approach to TIA. Everything had been interrupted, everyone had gone home and it was quieter than Christmas morning.

I made a pot of tea, killed the TV, and curled up with a book. I feel guilty as hell for taking the time to enjoy it.

On 9/11 I worked my normal hours, as did my wife. Neither of us was doing anything super-critical, but we both had plenty normal stuff to do, unrelated to 9/11. We considered picking our daughter up early (she went to on-site after school care) but decided that in the absence of any new of possible attacks on Philadelphia, that the best thing to do was to maintain normal routine as much as possible.

When I got there to pick her up at 5:30ish, she was the only kid left in the whole school; everybody else had been picked up, most of them hours ago.

Only kid left in the whole school? Poor kid.

For me, I walked home from work at noon or so. Took a few hours, but it was a glorious Fall day, so it was actually pretty nice. Got home and left the TV off. Went to the playground with my wife and daughter. Enjoyed the nice fall day. No peace and quiet, though. Lots of fighter jets flying back and forth like angry hornets.

We were on vacation. Jim turned on the TV and woke me up... we watched the second tower get hit, watched for a little longer and then hit the beach. Didn't know what else to do...

I was doing some welding work for a friend of mind, one of the space cadets that worked for him came into shop and told me about it. My first thought was, this butthole has been watching war of the worlds. Later I went into office and saw on tv. Damn who'da have thought it was true.
