neighborhood. we sat on the promenade and looked toward where the towers used
to be -- there is still a huge cloud of smoke rising upwards, as things are
still…

Tara,

Thank you for your concern. Joe and I are both well. Joe's sister and her
girlfriend are also safe. In fact we have been very fortunate in that all
our friends are safe and accounted for.

When this all happened, I was at LaGuardia airport…

that plane was targeting Camp David and may have been shot down my milatrary!!
We are going to War, thank God that Kevin is not older, he might be drafted

hi gran

it's been a crazy couple of days. we watched most of what happened from our roof, and it was so strange, so horrible and so real. but it didn't feel like it could possibly be real. i felt sick all day, plenty of crying jags and the like. my…

Colleen...although you and I have never met, you are in my thoughts just now....that's on a personal level....more pertinently however in the circumstances, I am pleased to provide a link between you and Jo and Peg. I phoned Jo at about midnight…

It's getting goofy here. I swear I just heard military jet engines overhead. These are undoubtedly our aircraft, but still... I wish I was home…

it is surreal, it sort of looks normal except the police are everywhere,
sirens go off periodically of emergency vehicles, the Arab shopping
street which is a major thoroughfare is closed for any regular traffic,
they say is is an emergency route,…

Not to put a damper on anyones day...
Two planes just crashed into both world trade center towers in NYC! The buildings are on fire, and they were big 737 cargo planes.
Terrorists? We shall see....

This is the part about living in Washington that…

I'm alright. Lenore was in the World Trade Center PATH station when the
first plane hit. She was able to escape to the street, and saw the second
plane hit. She said there are bodies all over the place down there. She

Friends -
Today was a watershed day in all of our lives. No matter what our background, our work, our politics, religion, home country or state, this vicious act of barbarism has touched all of us in ways that we can not yet begin to imagine.…

Tony Blair spoke briefly on American TV last night. He was simply wonderful! I almost wept. He had dined at the White House with President Bush and both were enroute to a joint session of the US Congress where President Bush was to…

Things here in Queens are OK. Until Tuesday morning, I was on a…

A Few Thoughts That Grew

Morning of September 17, 2001

I went back to work today. The Monday after. A new week, a new New York, a new national proprioception, a new planet. A new day.

The thoughts you are about to read are not unique. Everyone…
