We had one similar experience with 9/11. That was a matter of hours, but it was more intense, obviously.

All of a sudden one of my guys noticed they were doing this, ... And then after a little reflection, my team started thinking 'how can we do a better job of this?'

Obviously, it's good to still be here. Now it's a matter of finding ways to contribute any way I can. I'll try to help Carson out whenever I can, and I get a chance to learn from Jon and Carson. I want to get better. This is what I do. I love to do it. I work as hard as I can, and I'm just fortunate.

Right now, the biggest shared value that I can think of is that you should treat others the way you want to be treated, and just have some good sense about what matters to you.

During the bubble, we got distracted by the prospect of big bucks. Now it's much better balanced.

I was just e-mailing a few friends about events that were useful or fun and now my friends of 20 or more have become a mailing list of 7,500 people and a virtual community of at least 10,000 people.
