Friends,
Like most of you I was stunned, scared, and mystified by the attacks in New York, Washington DC and in Pennsylvania. It was hard to deal with considering I was at the World Trade Center on Sunday, buying tickets to a play, eating lunch at SouthWest NY, shopping at Borders, catching a train, and walking the dog. I was in New York visiting my uncle who lives in Battery Park, in an apartment building 3 blocks from the WTC. (He is safe now -he was evacuated- and in Hobokken, NJ). Knowing he and another friend were in NYC and that Bekah was in DC made this tragedy really strike home with me. I am so grateful to know that at least they are safe. I hope each of you has found a way to function today, though I imagine it was rough for all of us. Elisa, I don't know what it could have been like as a teacher, I hear from the kids I used to babysit that they were scared and didn't quite know what was going on. Davey, once again you are a reporter at an amazing (though tragic) time in history. I guess we will all remember September 11, 2001, for the rest of our lives. My thoughts are with you all and I hope none of you have suffered any personal loss in this tragedy.
Love always, E
