Oh, God. I cannot believe what I just found out. either I am totally moronic, or just haven't seen the right media about the 9/11 attacks, but I just found out that my very best RL friend had a cousin who died in those attacks! To make matters even worse, he was on one of the planes, and he was one of the three men that jumped the terrorists on that
plane. It's not like they have a common last name or that he had a different last name, either. Their last name (yep, his, too) is Bingham (yes, as in Binghamton, NY - which was originally named for her family). His name was Marc Bingham. I feel so horrible right now that all this time has passed, and I never knew that my best friend lost a family member in the 9/11 tragedy! Granted, they weren't close (she's 24 - well 25 in April - and had only met him like 10 times her whole life) but still....That's just a little too close to home.

In much happier news, Amy got her Progress Report this week!( Read more here )
