Here’s something I wrote three years ago.   I wish I still have the one I wrote 9 years ago.  Oh well.  This one will do….

———–

7 years ago around this time, I was driving a friend out into the city to her job because she was late getting up and needed to be in the office by 8:30am for an important meeting. At that time, I just got laid off from Clear Channel Communication, so my schedule are FREE. I decide what the hell, I got nothing better to do anyway. I normally do not take the Tunnel out into the city, because of the $3.50 fee.  Yes I am cheap.  HAHA!  But because we were running late, she told me to take it and will pay me back, plus the drop off spot was World Trade Center Path Station. So it makes sense to.

I remember traffic were pretty back up. and once we came out of the tunnel I happened to look up and said “oh world trade center is on fire”. I didn’t think much of it at that time… but once the 2nd plane hit the second tower, I knew at that point New York was under attack. I am not going to get into details anymore, but I will always remember what happen that day. Many of my friends do work in those buildings or in that area. Just so happen that Tuesday, they all decided either to take the day off, or they were running late into work.

Here’s some photos of that morning from my camera.

I figure I would put something together again and give you guys my current experience since the last time I blogged about them. You can read that posted here Review: ProPhoto 3 Blog v3 Theme.

ProPhoto Blogs is what I am using. Of course there are many other themes out there. and I am sure they are great. Personally I like ProPhoto Blogs a lot.  It’s clean; Easy to navigate. Some might say it looks like what everyone else are using. Well, I will say this. I rather the viewer be familiar with a theme they’ve seen, and know their way around then something that will take them years to find the link to check out the gallery. As a regular surfer,  I dont like to spend more then 10 seconds to locate a link or trying to figure out a way to get to the next page. I’ve seen some bad ones out there.

I got a $10 off ProPhoto Blogs discount code JOHNLO864 for you to use.

Here’s a little vid clip from ProPhoto Blogs.

Who wants to join us next weekend???

yes, that’s the entrance to the secret underground Men In Black headquarters.

Location:  Pier 40 Hudson River Park (West Houston Street & West Side Highway) …. Hudson River, New York City

Yes it was HOT that day.

Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Cinderella, and many other more we got to meet.   It was so great watching Dylan interacting with them.  It was priceless.
