It's your birthday...Happy birthday to you, Chuck!
WIth the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 next week, and knowing how deeply it affected Chuck, I'd like to share a Chuck tale concerning 9/11.
We were going to a show a month later, in October. People were still very nervous about flying. We went cheap and got a connecting flight in St. Louis. Sitting in the waiting area
at the gate, Chuck started eyeballing the passengers and saw a few he didn't care for. So he decided to play Air Marshall. As the plane began boarding, Chuck stood by the door looking
as fierce as he could. Standing tall, arms across his chest, total biker bravado, staring down anyone he didn't like the look of. A little old lady came up to him and timidly asked if he was riding
on this flight. Chuck gently said, yes he was. She said, thank goodness, I feel safe now.
We got on last, and as we entered, people clapped for Chuck. He was thrilled. He was even more thrilled when the flight attendents kept bringing him free drinks. I was thinking, if somthing did
happen, Chuck shouldn't be drunk, but everything was fine.
When the plane landed, people (the women!) told him that they felt safe with him on the plane and a few shook his hand (the men!).
As far as a site update for this year, I got going on the Gallery. 2000 is finished and half of 1999 is up. Enjoy!
