I like your choice of events except for one. I can pick out in my memory where I was for every even except Katrina. Not because I cannot remember, but because that ended up being a long and drawn out set of tragedies that it is hard to say when it moved from something on the news or in the paper to national tragedy. That could be a number of points over a couple of days.

But that is the nature of the event. Everything else was pretty discreet in time… one moment things were one way, another moment something had changed.

It wasn’t a total loss, Nat. The school where I started had a lengthy and elaborate Orientation Week prior to that. So it was really just the first day of *classes* that was interrupted.
