I was a post early with Liz----

---we both share the same day--
time zone drives me crazy
Yup---another year--too fast--too fast--
As much as it is a happy day for me it is also a very

day due to the tragedy with the Trade Centers--I sit --watch and cry---I couldnt believe what was happening on that day----
We lived in the lower east side --walked those streets--so I honor all those that perished ---the Pentagon--and PA. and I shall always be a NOO YAWKER----
When I turned the TV on--that day---I thought *scarey Movie*--then it hit me---
Ive told U before(I think) my kids started calling me ---crying and wishing me a Happy Birthday---*mom--mom are U OK*? I choked on the words---we are being attacked!!!
Today when Doug called---he asked *are U going to cry every birthday when I call*

I said *probably!!!!*
But I do thank U all for the wonderful wishes---and to complete my special day----right now our friend Malachy is !!!TAKING!!! Lou to lunch!!!
Doesnt that crack U up!!!!!
Well he did sing Happy Birthday to me---but I said *how come I dont get taken to lunch--huh????
Its cus of all the favors that Louie does for him----thats nice ---I really thought------
Well from a *big thank U all for wishes* I went into a big dialogue-- ---
This is me!!!! yakkidy-yak!!!!
