I was playing tennis in my apartment complex in Atlanta w/ fellow unemployed IT workers when I got a zillion calls from friends/family. I am from NY, and go home often, so people were calling me around 9am w/ concerns; It was also my birthday. I remember us stopping tennis, coming back to my apartment, and meeting my hysterical roommate (also from NY who's parents were in the city) and being glued all day to CNN... It was an unforgettable 29th birthday...
