TommyLog – NYC Marathon Must NOT Go On!

I’m stunned at the devastation on the east coast. The water, the sand and the pain. At first I really thought mayor Bloomberg was on top of this and that help was on its way. Now I hear that the New York City marathon is still going on with all this tragedy, I’m just at a loss for words. How can you invite 40,000 plus people to your house, when your house is a mess and you can’t even take care of your own?

I have no idea what they are thinking and the backlash from this WILL BE HUGE!!! They are already getting punished in social media. Just wait as the days draw closer to Sunday’s race. I believe this is a breach of leadership and one that they should be ashamed with if they let this go on!

TommyLog – My Trip to NYC Just After 9/11

Today is the 10th anniversary of the terror bombings of the World Trade Center. I reflect at that moment and where I was on that day. I took a trip to New York City a few weeks after and I share my story. So many images being shared, I had to add my 2 cents to the mix. I added a few pix I took from my NYC trip to the video.

I will never forget!

What Were You Doing when you Heard the News?

What were you doing when you heard the news of the death of Osama Bin Laden? I was on the couch watching DVR‘d shows when I saw the The POTUS was having an emergency press conference come across my twitter feed! WOW!!. I immediately tuned to the cable news shows to see what was happening. While they were trying to make sense of it all..across my twitter stream came UNCONFIRMED: BIN LADEN DEAD! HOLY COW!!! The scoop was on twitter and not the news channels.

Where were you on 9/11 when you heard the news of the terrorist attacks? I’ll never forget that day as I’ll never forget where I was last night, May 1st 2011 when I heard the news…
