Where were you when....

In no particular order...

On the couch thinking that Tivo was the coolest invention ever

Probably at the kitchen table but I don't remember

At the Staples Center

One the couch at home

In the dorms in just a towel on my way to the community showers

1) You found out what was happening on 9/11 - Getting ultra sound of my son (Actually have an ultrasound pic with the date and time on it (8:48am)) I didn't know we were under attack until after the 1st tower fell. By then I had made it in to work and hardly realized no one was around, before my wife called me to tell me what was up.
2) tOSU won the NC - Standing in my livingroom - which I had been doing for 3Q and 2 OT's.
3) Challenger exploded - Freshman year in High School.. Science Class, if memory serves.
4) The Red Sox won the World Series - Laying in my bed.
5) You lost your virginity
- Not coincidently, laying in my bed as well.

1 -- Going from Labs to Desk at Work. Passed a TV on in the lunch area. First plane was "replaying" most are going "no-way - its just an accident" then the second hits and it becomes "no-way its just an accident"
2 -- Off the ground -- literally -- watching with wife and son and friends at home on the widebody.
3 -- Ready to deliver a talk in front of folks in Indiana. Need TV for a Video presentation. I'm futzing around with the damned video recorder and channel settings. News comes on -- talk didn't happen after all that.
4 -- At home screaming at the kid to get out and watch this - he'll never believe what's going to happen -- it a part of history etc.
5 -- Which has always struck me as an odd way of asking "When did you first get laid" -- for its not like any of us are going out at nights trying to get that precious virginity back again. Oh and, in bed, that was it, and a nice young girl too.

1) At a company outing in Hartford, CT. A guy in our firm was in a middle of a presentation when he received an urgent phone call. He left the room to take the phone call and when he returned he looked as white as a ghost. He told us the WTC was hit by a 747 and that his son works in the building. Fortunetly his son was okay and a couple of us drove down to Charlotte from Hartford.

2) At home watching the game on TV.
3) In Fussen, Germany touring a couple of castles. One of the castles was the inspiration for Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom.
4) In a hotel in Toronto, Ontario.
5) In a girl's apartment in Dublin, Ohio

Good questions.....

1. At work, I had just turned on the radio and heard the news. Scary, very scary.
2. In my brother in law's basement, with a beer in my hand. We watched every game over there that year and they won 'em all.
3. In the 5th grade, art class.
4. No clue. Since I didn't care, it was probably the next morning at work.
5. At my ex girlfriend' parents' house, in the basement.

1) You found out what was happening on 9/11 - I WAS WAITING FOR THE BUS IN THE GOLD COAST (CHICAGO) AND SOME GIRL MENTIONED IT. THEN WHEN I GOT IN THE OFFICE IT WAS ON CNN.COM AND EVERYONE WAS FREAKING OUT. AS CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS, CHICAGO WAS ABOUT AS HECTIC AS NYC THAT MORNING B/C THE DOWNTOWN GOT SHUT DOWN AND EVERYONE WAS RUSHING HOME. I DON'T MEAN TO DOWNPLAY WHAT OCCURED IN NYC THOUGH BUT WHAT I MEAN IS THAT CHICAGO WAS CRAZY THAT DAY TOO. ALTHOUGH I'M SURE NOTHING LIKE NYC.

2) tOSU won the NC - I WAS STUCK IN WASHINGTON DC WATCHING FROM MY HOTEL ROOM. I WAS IN DC FOR A LONG TIME FOR A WORK ENGAGEMENT. BUT I WAS LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT. BEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME EVER! EVER!!! AND NOT ONLY WERE WE A PART OF IT...BUT WE WON THE NC OUT OF IT! HOW FUCKING AWESOME IT THAT?!?!

3) Challenger exploded - I WAS IN ELEMTARY SCHOOL...MAYBE 6TH GRADE. THE TEACHERS HAD HERDED US INTO THE ART ROOM AND SET UP A TV. I REMEMBER NOT KNOWING WHAT THE SMOKE ON THE SCREEN MEANT BUT I SAW OUR SCIENCE TEACHER CRYING SO I GUESSED SOMETHING WAS WRONG. BUT I JUST DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.

4) The Red Sox won the World Series - I WAS AT A BAR, FORGET WHAT IT WAS CALLED, HERE IN CHICAGO. I HAD JUST FINISHED A COED FLAG FOOTBALL GAME WHICH WAS USUALLY FOLLOWED BY DRINKING. I WAS PRETTY MUCH UNAFFECTED BY IT, BUT THERE WERE SOME DIEHARD BOSOX FANS IN THERE ALRIGHT...

5) You lost your virginity - FIRST OFFICIAL TIME..IN TOLEDO IN A CLUBHOUSE OF THE FOX CHASE APARTMENTS OFF OF AIRPORT HIGHWAY. BUT THAT TIME DIDN'T REALLY COUNT. SO I WOULD SAY IN COLUMBUS..EITHER IN MY DORM ROOM OR IN A HOUSE IN REYNOLDSBURG. YOU'D THINK I REMEMBER MORE ABOUT MY FIRST RELATIONSHIP WHERE I WAS GETTING LAID ALOT BUT I REALLY DON'T. AND I WASN'T EVEN DRINKING MUCH AT THE TIME..

1. In Cape Town on the telephone, talking to Riverside Methodist Hospital, who were telling me that my Dad had gone into a coma 15 minutes before the first plane hit. I saw the second plane hit live during the telephone call. He died the next morning.

2. Watching the game on TV.

3. Watching through a shop window in London.

4. Don't remember.

5. In the back seat of a 1964 Chevy Nova, a picture of which is on the wall of my office today!
