23 years ago

After having breakfast at the ferry building this morning, I walked around for a little while. I like to people watch and Saturday mornings along the Embaradero are great for this.

There is a book store on the backside of the ferry building that I've seen many times but I have never visited. So today I looked through the used books they were selling for charity on a cart outside. That's when I saw a book titled Fifteen Seconds, it's a book about the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.

23 years ago, when I was 15 years old, my father was on the Bay Bridge at 5:04pm as the World Series was about to start.

As I flipped through the book, tears came to my eyes. Even though my father survived and more than 2 decades had passed, I still find the event to be very emotional.

Maybe I never, truly, dealt with my feelings at the age of 15. I don't know...
