  1. Cartoon: A heartbreaking event. I remember like it was yesterday. Was at school, and was stunned by the news that day! We all were, and still mourn the loss of those lives. 
    BFTP: Love, love this song!! 

    Glad to read of your happy news! Whether some like to talk about it or not….it’s always a good day when one gets a Republication out of the way. LOL.  Take good, good care, and have a peaceful and great day, Tom.

  2. Good news on the computer front! Hopefully now you can put more effort into resting.

    Cartoon – One thing I remember that I doubt anyone else does is that “Touched By An Angel” had an episode about this event

    When this film was released, I was prepping for my qualifying exams for my MBA degree, which the government was paying for and which therefore was my full time job. For recreation, I was co-leading a Girl Scout Troop whose other co-leader (who had congenital heart issues) was having surgery for that, under which she died. Soon after that, I received orders to Camp Butler in Okinawa. I wasn’t seeing any films, nor listening to any music but classical and very little of that.

  3. Cartoon: Such an awful tragedy, killing many; all thanks to two who despised the Federal Government. Shameful.
    BFTP: Great song by Bob Dylan. 
    Glad to hear that you’re all better now. relieved from your “extreme Republication”. Hopefully it remain calm for you.
    Hope you had a nice day and that your evening is good too.
    Take care. 

  4. Your personal update even sounds relieved, TomCat.06

    Cartoon: I know it happened and it must have been on the news a lot in Europe but I have little recollection of it.

    BFTP: Loved the movie which I saw with friends in my last year of high school. I bought the album and we played it on every possible occasion.

  5. Good news!
    ‘Toon: Sad news.
    BFP: Good song!

  6. TJI#1: Jordan is nothing but an asshole!
    TJI#2: And the name of the landing site is Wright Field!  Holy cow!!!!!!
    TJI#3: Excellent!
    TJI#4: Amen!
    TJI#5: Duty to humanity, not one’s own damned bank account!

  7. Thanks all.  I hope your week started well. 04
