SunFyre...words from a seated position

I don't wish I could walk. I do however, wish I could dance. The way some people can manipulate their bodies to the beat of music always fascinated me.

Enjoy.

The London Underground, their subway system, is one of the best ways to navigate this old city. At street level, much of London was designed in the era of horse and carriage and bicycles with gigantic wheels (I don't know about the bicycles, but that's how I imagine London).

Clearly it's a better way to get around them by automobile. First of all, they all drive on the wrong side!

But, is it better to take the Underground, or go by foot. At least one guy in this amazing video thinks it's faster to run, and he tries to prove it.

I remember sitting at my desk watching the twin towers burn and collapse on a Tuesday morning. I remember thinking that the world was changing minute by minute.

I was born in June 1970. With the exception of a three-day ground war in Kuwait, I lived in the most peaceful time in American history. Now that was changing. More Americans died in 90 minutes then had died in my lifetime in what I knew was just the beginning of war.

September 11 was terrifying to us in a very unique way. My wife and I had just given everything to try to bring a child into this world. We still had to wait several days to determine if she was pregnant.
