I was asleep in bed after a hard night out drinking. I was 24 at that time. I remember getting a call from my mother, she told me to turn on the tv. "what channel?" I asked her, "Pick one." was her reply. I flipped on my tv and literally 5 seconds later I saw the second plane hit. I was already in a daze from all the booze in my system still. I wasn't quite sure what I was seeing, it was just so surreal. My eyes were glued to the tv all day. I had never been more furious and upset and bewildered in my life.
I had a good friend of mine that was stuck in the area, and told me about all the local people opening their homes to those that were stranded in the area. A really nice woman took him and about 8 other in, and as he walked into this house, he was amazed at the foyer that was all chrome and glass. He said it was amazing. He asked the woman what she did for a living. She said her husband was in the tv business, and that he was an animator. His name was Mike Judge. For those too young or too old to know, Mike Judge is the creator of Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill, and the movie "Office Space".
