Remembering September 11
Yesterday marked the sixth annual observance of the terrorist attacks of September 11.  I hadn't called out sick from my past or current job in over four years since May 10, 2003, but a cold and some food poisoning (possibly the buffalo from last Thursday's Shackleton lecture) put me under the weather.
 
After getting some much needed rest and food, I went downtown to pay my respects to Chappelle and others who lost their lives that tragic day.  I walked around in a daze of disbelief even six years on and amid the cacophony of other mourners, tourists, police, and conspiracy theorists.  As I was walked back to the Subway, I recognized former NYSE Chairman Dick Grasso from TV and he had a comforting word.  A classy gentleman.  We may all come from different walks of life but united in this tragedy.  May God bless those who lost their lives on that fateful day and watch over us in the days and years to come.
