That Time Thing
Didja ever notice that time thing?
After the 9/11 terrorist attack, it seemed that I looked at the clock, unconsciously, every morning and evening at exactly...you guessed it...9:11. It wasn't like I was sitting there, watching the clock waiting for it to appear....I just looked and that was the time. Weird, huh?
I am normally a fairly light sleeper. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night. Could be a child rooting around in the kitchen, or Tony coming home from work, or even an animal prowling for peanut butter. For a while, though, I would wake up exactly at 4:13 am. Every night. It wasn't a noise or a scheduled train going by...it was just...weird.
In high school, we were dismissed at 2:40 pm. I ALWAYS looked at the clock at 2:30, anticipating getting out of the hellhole or going to practice. That isn't weird, though.
7:11 is another time that I notice more than disregard. Maybe I just have a weird sense of humor.
In case you were wondering, I was born just in time for dinner.

Darth Vader is still on the loose. Sigh.

Celebrity News....source: Little Tony's actor friend, J.J., who is also 10.
J.J. landed a "background" (?) part in the Spiderman III movie. He says that the guy who plays Spiderman is "not very nice" because he rolls his eyes at people a lot. The J.J. report also says that Rose (?) an actress in the film is also "not very nice." She makes ugly faces at lesser-known actors, too. Alright, J.J.! Keep those celebrity tips coming! I wish J.J. a long and successful career.

I see 911 on clocks all the time. I can be sitting doing nothing and I look up. There it is.
Never told anyone 'cause I thought it might be just me. I'm not harboring any PTSD over it that I know of. My hatred of "them" isn't buried deep enough to cause PTSD. I cheerfully hope "they"...Well, never mind.
I'm glad I'm not alone with 911. I'll have to ask around to see if it's become an unconscious trigger in our collective minds.

4-13 is my birthday; nothing weird about commemorating that every night.
