I had actually stopped watching the news for years. (Regrettable tendency to internalize everything and react with innapropriate emotion. It was actually my doctor who said "stop watching the news.")

Well, I eventually decided that I was completely out of contact with my fellow beings on this planet and this was a bad thing. So...I became an MSNBC junkie. Wanted to know what was happening everywhere.

I picked late August of 2001 to make this lifestyle change, so I was right there glued to all the coverage. I appreciate irony, though...even irony this big.

I found out later that my siblings had taken a vacation to New York City. They'd left September 10th. My brother was also on the exact same flight that crashed over Lockerbie, only he took the flight the day before. I haven't seen him in years, but I imagine he has quite the store of cocktail party conversation.

One of the things I remember most were all the flags that suddenly appeared on porches across the country. I remember thinking "I wonder how long *this* is going to last?"

I wonder how many people out there glanced at their calendar today and had nothing register? Just the 11th, like the 11th of August, or the 11th of July.

I don't think I'm going to think about that anymore.
