i have an interesting story for you all. today is my friend's birthday. on a 9/11 a few years ago, a hurricane hit hawaii, but not our island. it hit kauai. he went to college in pennsylvania. upon graduation he lived in washington dc where he worked. then he moved to new york. he quit his job and a week before the 9/11 terrorists attack, he came to visit me in san jose and we were going to fly together to hawaii. the weird thing is a hurricane on his birthday, plane crashes in new york where he lived, pentagon where he lived, and pennsylvania where he again lived. those are the only 4 places he has lived in the U.S. kind of weird coincidence isn't it? i called and wished him a happy birthday. so sad that on a happy day for him, the rest of the country mourns.
