9-11

This morning I'm driving back from Long Island, and I see a warning sign: "congestion in lower Manhattan."

Yeah, I think. Yeah.

So I take the midtown tunnel instead... and come into the city on the stroke of 8:46, and the radio station I'm listening to goes to a moment of silence.

I drive down 47th Street, and see the firefighters outside their station, in full dress.



You heal, as best you can. You go on. You live.

You never forget.

That's a classy memorial. Very appropriate, both the radio and the firefighters.

Here, we have the "Freedom March" which is blocked from sight by high barriers and waves of police, and oh, if you show up and haven't already signed up for the thing, you'll be arrested.

Not making any of this up. The "Freedom March" of rememberance (Cornpone cliched jingoistic concert free) is locked down tighter than the March for Women's Lives was.

There are a lot of memorials going on today -- the annual reading of the names is... I can't watch it. The moment of silence seems appropriate to my own scars.

You never forget.

We won't. But too many other people have, I think.

You don't know me; Sharyn pointed me your way. Just wanted to throw my amen into the chorus.
