Today is September 11.

Never will I take advantage of my subscribers and readers by talking politics and the like.

For me, and, I think for all of us, today is a very important day of remembrance, and I feel the need to honor in some small way, those who perished, and their families, on September 11. 

I was in NYC for September 11.  I witnessed buildings falling and people covered in ash... I breathed the smoke filled with ash, I saw National Guardsmen with machine guns and tanks lining the streets of Manhattan, and fighter jets circling the island. I worked with people who perished that day, and had friends who lost friends. It was by far the single most frightening and horrific day (and really, three days while I was stuck in NYC and couldn't get home) of my life.... and I was 1 1/2 miles north of the WTC.... not even in the center of things.

Love leaves a memory no one can steal."
