Where Were You When...

1. Where were you when you heard that Ronald Reagan died?

Reading stuff on the internet.

2. Where were you on September 11, 2001?

I was in my bedroom in Stacy, MN.  Asshole and I were talking about our upcoming move to Southern Minnesota.

 

Puky knocked on the door and said a plane had his the WTC.  I assumed a small plane.   Then he came back and told us we needed to come out and see it.

 

I remember walking into the living room and all three kids were glued to the TV.  I can remember watching the second plane hit and the buildings fall.  All through a veil of tears.

 

I hugged Asshole so hard and cried and cried.  To this day I cannot watch it or read about it without crying.   Even now.

3. Where were you when you heard that Princess Diana died?

I was alone in the apartment in Carson City, NV.  Actually, the kids were upstairs asleep.  But I was alone.  I was sitting in my big red chair watching some stupid show on TV and they came on with the news.

 

I watched as much of the coverage as I could.

4. Do you remember where you were when you heard Kurt Cobain had died?

Nope.  Didn’t affect me that way.

5. Take one for The Gipper: What’s your favorite flavor of jelly bean?

Don’t like Jelly Beans.  Only Jelly Bellys.  And I like the Roasted Marshmallow ones.

6. Where were you when Magic Johnson announced he was retiring from the NBA due to AIDS?

No clue.  I only vaguely remember that.

7. Where were you when Reagan was shot?

I don’t remember.

8.Where were you when the Challenger exploded?

I’m not sure

9. Where were you when the 0J verdict was announced?

I don’t remember the verdict.  I do remember where I was during the chase.  I was in the hospital in labor.  Brat was born that week and it was the only thing on TV.
