The flight of the Forgotten Flight

 

Flight 93 Memorial 

I know 9/11 has passed, however I wanted to share one more story...
.
Flight 93 was the last plane to be hijacked, and some passengers on the plane were able to use cell phones to contact their loved ones.
.
(Remember this was 7 years before the iPhone 1, not everyone had a phone back then.)
.
They made the decision that if they were going down, they were going down fighting.
.
And they did.
.
The plane crashed in an empty field in Pennsylvania, rather than hit its intended target.
.
Why?
.
Because the passengers got wind of what was happening and fought back.  
.
Even when they knew they would have to pay the ultimate price.
.
These people were truly heroes
.
That dedication also reminds me that no matter how hopeless the situation seems, you too can still step up to the plate… 
.
Even when the chips are down…
.
And as we know, they really were on that fateful flight.
.
Right Now...

I know you’re fighting for something too... We all are.
.
It could be fighting for your family, for your health, your business or job, Maybe it's your own inner battles that we all struggle with.
.
Right now, as always, a lot of people continue to fighting for many things on a larger scale as well.  
.
They are fighting against the injustices they see in the world… 
.
This takes many forms.
.
Remember, as you wage your own war, be it personal or otherwise, don't forget the bigger picture. Don’t forget to look past yourself and remember all those who came  before us with their own challenges, battles and wars, many of which were much greater than the ones we ourselves face today.
.
I don’t say this to tell you to ‘suck it up’ or to quit feeling sorry for yourself.
.
Just the opposite actually…
.
I say this to let you know that you are not alone. We are all in this together.
.
I know the dark is not through, but where ever you’re at with things in your Life, have hope, keep going, don’t give up…
.
Know you’re not alone in your fight… Even when it may feel as if so.
.
Don't hesitate to reach out, to connect to another human. Someone. Give me a shout if you need someone to listen, bitch or talk.
.
If not me or someone in this community, than some one else who you know and who will listen.
.
We all are fighting to protect something...
.
We just have to make sure it's the right things.
.
This is a way we can all honor those who perished on that clandestine flight over 20 years ago…
.

Keep going,
~Craig

Are people from Crete Creteans??

Here I am in Crete. It is a pretty cool island. It is a bit more difficult getting around, but far from impossible. Most people speak at least a little english and I have gotten very good at asking (in Greek) if they speak english. I walked around about 15 miles today. Into town, around town, to all (and I do mean all) of their museums, archelogical sights, some cafe's and town squares. I really didn't even get lost today. Wow, I must be making some progress. I met a couple English people (yes, people from England silly) we hung out until about 1am or so and talked about politics, troubled youth, the difference between the FBI, CIA, and Secret Service (don't ask, if I told you I'd have to kill you:), body guards, ccw laws etc. It was kinda of funny, most of the museums that I went to today were under construction and had only one exhibit open. Geeze, you'd think that they would have at least discounted their entry price, but noooooooo! Oh well. I at least had a real

What's Your Rosebud?

  One of my favorite classic movies is: "Citizen Kane" It starred Orson Welles. [NOTE: spoiler ahead - if you haven't seen it] And, was about the life and legacy of a powerful newspaper publisher, based partly on the late William Randolph Hearst. The movie starts with Charles Foster Kane dying, with his last word being "Rosebud" — and the entire movie is this sort of question of what "Rosebud" is. Turns out it was simply the trade name of a cheap little sled on which Kane was playing on the day he was taken away from his home and his mother as a child. Welles revealed in an interview: "In his subconscious it represented the simplicity, the comfort, above all the lack of responsibility in his home, and also it stood for his mother's love which Kane never lost." The point? We All Have Our Rosebud That thing, moment, or whatever it is that anchors, drives, guides, or inspires you.  For example, the late Johnny Carson and the book of magic tr

You'll Never Guess What This Parrot Said!

  The Parrot Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly Mother. . The first said,  "I built a big house for our Mother." . The second said, " I sent her a Mercedes with a driver." . The third smiled and said,  "I've got you, both beat. You know how Mom enjoys the Bible, and you know she can't see very well. I sent her a parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It took 20 monks in a Monastery 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $5,000 a year for 10 years, but it was worth it. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot will recite it." . Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks: "Dearest First Son,"  she wrote the first son,  "the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but have to clean the whole house." . " Dearest Second Son,"  she wrote to another,  "I am t
