This morning...

The sky was not the same brilliant blue. And for that, I am glad.

On the way to work today, the churchbells were ringing as I got off the bus on Liberty St. I want to not be affected, but find myself unable to achieve thoughtlessness. Listening to the bells, I realized this is the time of the first crash. There are a lot of people standing around. I kept going.

Entering my office, when I got to my desk, there were two votive candles burning on it, to remember.

Hug. And thank you for your entry.

I remember. You said "Tell Cara I'm coming home. A plane just flew into the World Trade Center." You did not know how bad it actually was at that point. Few of us did I think.

I was stunned. Then I went online and all the news websites were down. Then all my relatives started calling.

I am still stunned, in a way.
