Tuesday morning
All is calm and serene
A gull takes flight
To a cloudless sky
And Lady Liberty watches on
Tuesday morning
Messengers of hate
With blackened hearts
And poisoned minds
They also take flight
After putting up a fight
Tuesday morning
Lives are lost
Chaos ensues
Two pillars of smoke
From two mortally wounded towers
Fire also burns from the Pentagon
Tuesday morning
They fought back
Giving their lives
So others would not be lost
Tuesday morning
As the Twin Towers fall
A nation cries and grieves together
As Lady Liberty watches on

As some of you know, I have an older sister. I do not get a chance to see my older sister much because she lives a couple time zones away from me. So when she does come to visit, we have a blast and the time just flies away. The last time she came here (in January if I recall correctly), I got to see my niece for the first time in person. She (my niece) will almost be nine months old and from what my sister has been telling me, she has changed quite a bit. Anyway, there's a reason why I am babbling on about my sister. She will be coming here in a couple days for her ten year high school reunion. She will be staying here for six days, and from what it sounds like, those days will fly past. Anyway, that's what's happening in my world.

Quick note: The Perseid Meteor Shower is this weekend (August 11-12). I plan on standing (or sitting) in a very dark field and enjoying the show. It starts at around midnight and usually doesn't peak until 4 am. Just thought I would pass that along.

Is it August already? Wow, has the time flown. Anyway, what's new with me. I am officially a student at the wonderful (online) University of Phoenix. Yes, this is my second week as a college student and I must say, it's a lot of hard work. Although most of the issues I have had to deal with have got to do with the fact that I am using dial up, and that tends to make things rather aggravating. Second, as of yesterday, I have a shaved head. No, I did not join some cult or fascist group; I just really needed some cranial air conditioning. And man does it feel good. So that's what's going on with me. It's been a pretty mellow summer if you don't count my insane schedule. But that is life.
