If you around, you know exactly where you were when the news broke. Myself, I was doing my radio show (B95) and was talking on the air. Our on-air studio looked into the news room and we had TV monitors and they all showed one of the Twin Towers in New York City on fire. I was mentioning that it looked like a plane had hit it. At that moment another plane hit the other Twin Tower and I knew, this was no accident. I’ve rarely been unable to speak on the air, but for a brief moment, I didn’t know how to verbalize what I had just witnessed. I collected my thoughts and shared them with the listeners. I played one song, made the decision to stop the music and we went to straight national news. I pray none of us have to live through that again. Be sure to take a minute and remember the thousands that were lost on that day.

National School Picture Day!
I’m not sure how it goes now, but when I went to school, picture day would just happen. What I mean is, you’d walk into class and the teacher would say “it’s picture day”. No heads up, no warning, so whatever you were wearing that day would go down in history. This is me in […]
