For those in the United States, and especially residents of New York, today holds a dear place.
Today is Patriot Day (not to be confused with *Patriots* Day), an honor to those lost when the twin towers fell in 2001.
I will not get into any conspiracy nor claim to know exactly what happened. All I do know, is some buildings got destroyed and many lives were lost. It affected the entire state and nation as footage and news reports swept across the air waves, television broadcasts and even some early streams.
I couldn't imagine the amount of dust and heartache that swept across the city. So today, we ask for a few moments of silence for the families and also give mad props to the emergency personnel that worked tirelessly scavenging through the rubble and debris to help anyone they could. 😶
## Family Time!
Well hey there, did ya miss us? We missed you! So much, in fact, that we have rescheduled our 'Family Time' to Wednesdays (and every **HUMP Day** after) and we hope to see you there! Join our lovely band of outcasts, normies, goofballs, pimps, degenerates, professionals and all things within and without and betwixt and between starting **11 am CST/ 12 pm EST**. We always try to have a little fun and and if you're paying attention, a few smiles might just be shared. We like to smile. We like to laugh. We realize that life isn't all about the important things like #politics, #religion and #sex, no, it's about the time spent, the experiences had and memories made. Memories get passed on, experiences are shared and time - time is the currency we spend to acquire them.
It just may be worth your time to [visit the Castle](https://discord.gg/EpyXNyh) and come check us out. Unlike the 'Addams Family' shows, all of this is live, unrehearsed and not recorded before any audience. Funny things happen. Sad things happen. Smiles and tears get shared. Worries and hopes are passed around. Sometimes, we even eat #pizza, cake and ice cream. Sometimes, we watch movies. Sometimes, giant insects attack the microphones and we have to get out our silly swatters and smack 'em up so we have something to snack on because the popcorn got eaten already by little slugs that left slimy trails everywhere and made the sidewalks slippery so that the pancakes didn't get enough traction on our canoes to steer the spaceships. Exactly.
