I saw this on my friend Mr. Fabulous’s site and thought it might be interesting enough to steal. I’ve certainly sent him enough Lemur photos to feed his obsession with them that I should be entitled to snatch and idea from his site.
Sixty-Two Question Meme
1. How old do you wish you were? I don’t know, I’m happy with my current age. It might be nice to hit 30 again and do a few things differently, but over all I’m ok where I am.
2. Where were you when 9/11 happened? I was working as a nurse in a private clinic. We all hoped that it was just a tragic accident when we heard about the first plane hitting one of the towers, but then when the second plane hit we knew it wasn’t an accident. I left work shortly after that and took the subway home. My husband was still at work, being informed of an upcoming lay off. He worked near the airport and they could see all the planes landing and landing. Toronto international looked like a parking lot for jets.
