Yep.  I remember clearly where I was on the morning of 9/11, and the 
bombing of the Murrah building here in OKC (frankly, a little "fatigued" 
from a reception the night before and jumping out of bed when I heard 
the blast).  But OTOH I remember even more clearly the greatest days of 
my life:
The details when I proposed and my wife said yes.
The births of our children.
The day our kids pulled a U-Haul out of the driveway for a job and 
apartment and started cash-flowing.  I even remember the vintage of 
champagne.
So it's not all negative.
