In May of 1983, I spent the last two weeks of yearly two week vacations with Br. Stephen in New York City.  All in all, I was there 6 weeks over 3 years.  And each time I visited we spent time on all of the skyscrapers.  Especially the World Trade Center.  I loved those buildings.  On September 11, 2001 I woke up and knew something had happened.   I turned on the TV and the first plane had just hit.   I saw the rest of that horrible day live, as it happened.  I didn't leave my apartment until the middle of October of 2001.

Back to topic... In June 1983 I spent my first month with our new Apple IIe computer.  It was bought in May and just sat there.   I sat down one day and didn't get up unless I absolutely had to.  By February of 1984, my first machine language program won a contest in Nibble Magazine. Those were the days...

peace :)

Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time,
Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rugged old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong.

...Cause I know - A love that will never grow old.
