These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know."Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-23324366370126589132009-11-23T07:18:43.244-05:002009-11-23T07:18:43.244-05:00Thanks for the movie recommendation Donna.

He is under hospice care and we have been having a lot of "I remember" conversations. They are very healing.

As I walked up the stairs, someone came and said that President Kennedy had been shot. That is the first time I remember sitting glued to the TV and seeing everything transpire.<br /><br />My daughter made that comment about September 11. She said, "Well, I guess this is like Pearl Harbor was to you all."<br /><br />And I agree. "Up" is a must see for all the reasons about which you wrote.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269872465115056916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-78383196432426385122009-11-22T21:23:30.337-05:002009-11-22T21:23:30.337-05:00I was still in High School but either was home sic...I was still in High School but either was home sick (pretty sure it was that) or home from school early enough to catch the news on TV.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.com
