9/11
Well, G.’s birthday got off to a rousing start, when our daughter Knowme started throwing up at 6:00am. Thankfully, I was working from home today, so I didn’t have to call in … but it also killed my birthday lunch plans. Oh, well.
The doctors said there is a gastro bug going around that causes either vomiting or diarreah … this was one of the rare instances where Knowme got sick while Bubba was healthy.
What a day.
Later on, I gave G. her gift — a new Samsung WEP200 bluetooth headset, with several different-sized Jabra ear hooks. We found one that fit perfectly into her ear. She was thrilled!
Lately, I’ve been killing my inner curmudgeon and embracing all things new and strange. Maybe I’m having a second youth, like I’m reliving my twenties in this wonderful technological future, with Star Trek-like products at cheap prices.

My only exposure today to the 09/11/2001 anniversary was seeing President Obama and the First Lady on Bloomberg TV, observing a moment of silence. The bells chimed, the bugle blew, and the big O and M bowed their heads reverently.
I still feel like I’m watching a Sliders episode when I see him.

Bush, Cheney, and Runsfeld destroyed the goodwill that manifested after 9/11 when they decided to invade Iraq with the U.S. and world divided on the issue.
They took a sledgehammer to our timeline.

Glenn Beck keeps saying we should be the people from 9/12, and not 9/10, referring to us being more vigilant and patriotic.
Sorry, pal. I was happy on 9/10. I was K.O.’ed on 9/12 — so much so that I called in sick that day. I’ll take 9/10. I’d rather have the Twin Towers standing than a war on terror — whatever that even means anymore. I mean, I declared a war on my inner fears many years ago, and that’s an ongoing battle, with occasional skirmishes followed by long periods of silence.
My war on anxiety will completely end when I die.
Anyway, good luck with the march tomorrow in D.C.. Unfortunately, when a tree falls in a forest with no one to hear the sound, it’s like it didn’t happen. Capiche?
Fox News covering it exclusively tomorrow means 1% of the population will be aware of what happened. The rest of the country will be recovering from, to quote Beck, their “9/11 sugar high.”
People who read Drudgereport will know what went down, but the American Idol populace won’t.

Hmmmm…Annabelle seems to have that bug as well…maybe the doctors are right. Get well soon, G.
V here.
I expressed your get well wishes to Knowme. She was acting shy, trying to sip her water, as opposed to guzzling it.
