    Where were you when?

    Today being the 10th anniversary of the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, maybe it's worth pause to remember how fleeting a moment can be unless it is preserved... how fleeting a life can be unless it is remembered.

    Where were you when (you heard)...
    * The Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was bombed?
    * President Reagan was shot?
    * The Challenger shuttle exploded?
    * The Columbia shuttle disintegrated?
    * John Lennon was shot?
    * The World Trade Center was first hit on September 11th?

    (JFK's and MLK's assassinations are not on this list because I cannot answer those questions personally)

    Why is it that it is the tragedies tend to stop time so that we remember "that moment when..."? Because they are the ones that shock the system?

    So, how about this?
    * Where were you when the Red Sox broke the curse and won the World Series?
