Not long ago several loved ones who I’d rather not name but will–Seth, Heather, Jess–made fun of me for thinking that in order to take advantage of a supermarket’s “10 for $10″ sale, I had to buy 10 of the item on sale. I stand by my belief that you can never have too much barbecue sauce, however, on a recent trip to the Try & Save, I decided to ask the customer service rep to put this debate to a rest. It turns out, much to the enjoyment of the customer service rep, that the afore mentioned loved ones were right. I could still get my bottle of bloody mary mix for a dollar without buying 10 of them.

Remembering September 11, 2001
Seven years ago today I watched the Twin Towers collapse from the roof of my apartment building on the west side. I’ll never forget listening to the radio (KTU always got me going in the morning) in the shower as I was getting ready and they interrupted my favorite dance tunes to announce the first plane had just hit one of the towers. For me, the worst part was having no working phones for most of the morning and not being able to track down my friends and brother in the city to make sure they were ok.
If I hadn’t moved earlier in 2001, I would have been in the World Trade Center when it was attacked.
What do you always think about when looking back at that day?
