How many hours did you work at your job last week? Maybe you're retired and your time is your own. But for you that are still part of the workforce - did you work 20 hours, 40, 60, more?

I've always loved storms. When the thunder starts to rumble and the lightning starts to flash... I go outside! It's a wonder I'm still alive to write this.

There are moments that happen in every generation that are so earth shattering, that everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. For my parent's generation it was December 7, 1941, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. For my generation it was November 22, 1963, the assassination of President Kennedy. And for all of us, it was September 11, 2001.
