I've been there a few bazillion times!
I love St Augustine. Spent my Honeymoon there. The pier (Anastasia Island) has our initials on it. smile

Music is good today too, Greger. I love Freddie Mercury.

Phil, I hope he's ok.

I can't ever think about 9/11 without thinking of my first grandchild's birthday. He was born 2 days before and as we were waiting to be released from the hospital we watched on a silent monitor the second plane hit. We had no idea what was going on but suddenly Annapolis, Md (30 miles from DC) was in a state of emergency. It was unbelievable.
DC a few days later (leaving from the train station) was like a war zone.
