Just watched the 2-part 9/11 doco on SBS - I have to say I think I'm just as emotionally affected as I was on the day watching it live unfold. Just bloody ****ing awful.

The heroics of those passengers to bring their hijacked plane down in Pensylvania (sp?) was emotional. When I go to NY start of next year I will be sure to visit GZ, I'm sure I'll have shivers running down my spine.

Only answer this if you're a derp at constructing/playing music - listening to heaps of music but not knowing how to play it still equates to derp*

*Gaycock we all know you're a derp but you fall under the talented derp category so you're not allowed to answer

Listening to classical music always makes me wish I stuck with playing the piano. But then the trademark short attention span kicks in.

We live in an era of instant gratification. In the computer age, whenever you click on something, you expect something to happen. It makes me wonder what will happen to pursuits that require intense concentration, a bit like the way 20/20 has diverted players away from Test cricket. Maybe we should all follow Kirky's lead and take up meditation.

I was in NY last month, and strangely when I passed Ground Zero I didn't feel as emotional as I thought. You will probably see it when you go, but it feels like business as usual in that part of downtown, with all the construction going on and shoppers going about their business in Century 21, the massive department store across the street. I guess New York really is the city that never sleeps, its resilience and capacity to recover from such devastation is remarkable.

One of my cousins was working in the second tower when the first plane hit, luckily she managed to escape before the second plane arrived but she lost a lot of friends & colleagues. I didn't know her back then, and we only met for the first time last month, but I can't imagine what it must have been like when it happened.

Amazing, 9 months you say...

I always admired how you young mothers can stay at school, and dont worry, the doctors can do something about those desprouted charms when the child feeds on it's own.

Actually I dropped out altogether. He was a beautiful boy & very healthy. So that had better not be sarcasm! He looks just like his father.

Daddy?

Yeah, due in January.

Still trying to convince the mrs to name it Brett Kirk Armstrong. She doesn't like it but seems less resistant to that name than she was to Lewis Roberts Thomson Armstrong.
