Day 54. Today is the 11th anniversary of the attacks on the world trade center and the pentagon. Yes, I remember that day. I remember where I was and what was happening. I also remember where I was when the federal building in Oklahoma City was bombed. I remember when the space shuttle exploded. One carried out by foreign terrorists, one by American terrorists, and one a complete accident. Does the cause of the tragedy make the event less or more tragic? I don't think so, but evidently I don't think like others. Anyway, tonight as I was tucking the girls into bed, I came across a little Shamu toy. We have several different ones. Each time I see one it reminds me of the great times we have had at Sea World. And of course the killer whale show is a highlight. Did you know that because of the incident where the whale drowned his trainer now the trainers don't get in the water. How tragic that event was for her family and friends. So now the whole show consists of the whales splashing the audience. Yuck! This summer we were able to go to Sea World Orlando and all Annie wanted to do was sit in the splash zone. I made sure it was the last show we went to and by the time we were out it had started raining. The rain washed off the whale yuck, so we were all happy. The best thing about this little toy is that it is at home and so am I.
