I haven't said a peep over the last weeks. Been busy. Been sick. As for the busy part, I did a website for Floris Coffee Centre. And I also found out that my friend Joe aka Samson in NYC is very ill with cancer with a very dire prognosis. He's a good egg and needs your prayers.

So much has happened over the past few days. The world is still reeling from the horrifying events of September 11, 2001. Still no one has owned up to these cowardly actions. I feel profoundly sad by the huge loss of life. The numbers that are still coming out of New York alone are staggering - 5100+ as of this writing. The Stock Markets in New York opened today (not doing to well right off the hop), and Major League Baseball is playing a few games this evening As much as people are attempting to "get back to normal" I can't help but get the feeling that it's going to take a long time before anything is "normal" at all.

There is a great site [not anymore] on the Internet dedicated to the Unity Ribbon seen at the right and in the site menu. The hope is that this ribbon will be displayed on the Internet and worn by people as a symbol of unity, not only in mourning for those taken from the world so suddenly, but for the hope that something like this never happens again. I didn't personally know anyone who perished in the attacks (at least not so far), but know people who have lost frieds and/or family. This affects us all in one way or another.

I know I'm Canadian, but I will proudly display this symbol on this site. I don't think it has as much to do with a nationality as it does away of life. That way of life is important to all of us in the "free-world".

Look at these posts from Xinoehpoel (possibly a hoax) that were posted in the newsgroup called alt.prophecies.nostradamus. This is truly eerie, if it's fact. This person may have had prior knowledge of the attacks and may even have been involved.

I feel the need to update the page with a little more information about what happened yesterday. Perhaps, if you live in a hole with no radio, or TV, you have not heard about the terrorist acts udertaken in the US yesterday. By the end of the day 4 planes had crashed (two into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and one in Pennsylvania), both towers of the WTC in New York had collapsed and perhaps thousands lay dead and dying in the wreckage. People are very afraid (myself included) in the aftermath of this horror. Our lives are going to change form this point on. It's very sad.

Riding the bus yesterday afternoon was an odd experience; a somber atmosphere. Very tense.

People are pulling together sending blood, aid and prayers to NYC, Washington and PA. I'm including the picture I am as a memorial. Lots of us have seen the horribly graphic pictures of planes crashing and the aftermath. I thought it appropriate to remember a happier time. For more information, probably the best places to go are CNN, MSNBC. If you are a spiritual person, I'm sure you wouldn't mind sending some prayers to the victims and families of this tragedy. If you can't do that, perhaps, think of something that you can do. Find out how you can help by going to the Helping.org site.

What a terrible day. I'll never forget this one.
