Before my time but a sad day, I'm sure. Along with 911 and Princess Diana's death, it has to be one of the biggest news stories since WW2.

Yeah...JFK was assassinated 12 years before I was born, but since I grew up in Dallas, I couldn't ever get away from it. They didn't open the 6th floor museum until I was a teenager and even when I was a kid, the assassination was kind of an off-limits topic; I think it was too painful for a lot of people. My dad was in downtown Dallas that day; he didn't see the shooting but he heard it; he won't talk about it. I knew John Brewer personally; he's the man who pointed Lee Harvey Oswald out to the Dallas police at the Texas Theater. We went on a field trip in 1987 to Dealey Plaza, then to the Dallas police station where Oswald was held and later murdered; we got to stand in the exact spot. They don't let you do that anymore.

I'm watching the Aussies sing their national anthem just now. They're playing the Kiwis. I love to watch Rugby to try and figure out the rules.

RE: Jackie Kennedy. Yes, she defined toughness through those days. But I doubt she married Ari for his looks.

I vote moon landing. No disrespect to the Kennedys. But I did live through that, and I'd rather not again. I did live through the moon landing, and I wouldn't mind repeating that.

Don't compare 9-11 with Princess Di, Ponce.
