Hi Eric,
Thanks for taking time to view my ramblings. I, too, felt this past weekend is
one of the most memorable of my life due to the connections that were made.
Rarely in our lives do we meet people who are so attuned to who we are and what
we are about. You are one of those to me. Chris and Bryce already know they are
as well. Our parting was hurried and frenetic at best, but there is something
that sticks in my mind that will be forever altered by Tuesday's diabolic
attack. Remember, the last time I saw you, I was dropping you off curbside at
the skycab at LAX on Monday. That is something I'll never get to do again.
Security seems to FINALLY be a priority for LAX. Too bad it took what it took to
make these changes.
Good luck with the rescue efforts. I truly wish I was helping dig or something
else along those lines. There isn't much that can be done sitting in my office
here in Los Angeles, but I do what I can.
To give you an idea of how much rage there is built up in me, I've been trying
to channel it physically. Keep in mind that I don't work out. I haven't had a
TRUE workout in close to a year. I will be sore tomorrow after 50 pull-ups, 100
sit-ups, and 20 push-ups. I can't believe I've finished that kind of a workout,
but I need some sort of physical way to channel the anger, pain and confusion.
This seems to be my only outlet. Here's hoping my body can keep up with the
punishment my mind keeps devising....
Oh, yes....a bit of an update. Like many of you, I can't seem to get any
building done. I sit down, I try to build, but I'm devoid of any creativity
right now. I'm actually getting more cleaning done than building.
