I was preparing to go to Houston Hobby for my flight back to NJ. (I used to travel between the two states.) My sister called in a panic....fearful that I was already in the air.
I put the television on just as a replay was on with one of the planes hitting the tower. It was so shocking, almost like something from a horror movie. Just unimaginable. Only the most depraved of human beings could do such a thing.
I stayed in Houston for another week, and then returned to what was then home. Like most, I chose not to let cowards ruin my way of life and continued to live my life as normal.
