We can always remember where we were when significant events happen. When Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot we were right in the midst of it. We were crazy civil rights people.
On September 11, 2001 I was putting on my swimsuit to walk down to my swim aerobics class when I saw the plane hit the building. It was shocking but I went swimming.
Later, as we were bobbing up and down in the water, a lady came late and told us about the second plane.
Here is the strange part. None of us left the pool. We continued our exercise. We all knew what this latest news implied - but we stayed. We were silent. We finished our aerobics.
After getting back to my condo and before I took off my wet suit, I called all of my children - in birth order.
