9/11

[Zipperhead]

It's 9/11. I'll be piping in Fredericton today. This is the day where it all started for me. I'll be there with all the medals on, medals I earned revenging the deaths of 343 firefighters. They never got medals of course. Kind of puts those little bronze disks into perspective I guess. When the true heroes are forgotten and those that followed remembered it kind of skews the meaning of it all. We will remember them.

Play hard, play true. We will remember them.

I got wet last night. The pipes are still soaked. I'm hoping there isn't any permanent damage, but we'll have to wait and see. Along with the rain was one of the biggest light shows I've seen in years. A tornado touched down about an hour west of us. The winds weren't quite that bad where we were, but you definitely knew they were around. All in all it kind of summed up the last 12 years in a nut shell. Miserable, a bit frightening and damaging. Of course the lightening was bringing back memories of other light shows I've participated in, but I didn't go into any flash backs or nothing. And the memories seemed somehow appropriate considering the day.
