Meryl's Notes Blog
Things wordy, geeky, and webby
On the original 9/11, I was in my corporate job in Richardson, TX. I could not believe what people were telling me about airplanes and World Trade Center. Of course, the Internet was overloaded with everyone wondering the same thing. Took hours before we got the full story. I hope the survivors and the families of those who passed are doing OK and carrying on as their loved ones would want them to.
And for fun because we’re allowed…
My favorites that I haven’t posted here from CNN 10 Humor Sites…
- My Life Is Average: It only took six days before my first grader forgot his take home folder. Five for my 5th grader.
- My Parents Joined Facebook: My mom did, but I’m cool with that. Daughter not so happy about me on FB.
- Laser Portraits: Think Star Trek light sabers in the background.

I was working from home on the original 9/11. My town lost a lot of people that day…

Barbara, I am sorry to hear your town lost many people that day. I hope it has healed and does what it can to remember those people.
Hey Meryl,
I’ll always remember that day. So many things changed.
I was working at a FedEx Flight Ops in Anchorage and I actually broke the news to the staff when I arrived at work – they hadn’t heard of anything yet.
It was a surreal day.
