I listen to Scott and Todd on PLJ. they were interviewing a man who'd seen the first plane hit. while they were talking to him...he saw the second plane hit. I think I was on autopilot after that, until I got to work and watched the rest of the day's news in the break room.songbird's crazy worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473854543986991104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643152976029610539.post-30415924182454801732009-01-09T15:12:00.000-05:002009-01-09T15:12:00.000-05:00I don't there's a New Yorker who doesn't remember ...I don't there's a New Yorker who doesn't remember where they were that fateful day.

I did know one person who died, an attorney who worked with my sister :oney in the Bronx DA's office and then joined the same firm as me. I'd only spoken to him once oe twice, just long enough to introduce myself.<BR/><BR/>and one of the secretaries in my office was married to a fire captain who was killed that day. at the wake she told us "at least I have a body to bury."songbird's crazy worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473854543986991104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643152976029610539.post-13332963959378688312009-01-08T21:54:00.000-05:002009-01-08T21:54:00.000-05:00That prayer just gave me chills. It is beautiful ...That prayer just gave me chills. It is beautiful and appropriate.<BR/><BR/>I guess I knew it was one of the stations that has not reopened, one of the ones at the WTC site that survived the destruction.<BR/><BR/>Did you lose a friend, colleague or coworker that day, SB? Two of my classmates were at financial firms, one was a first responder.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure in your travels, it was difficult to travel over to Jersey City, to pass through the vacant stations. Still must be.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01718001074320164888noreply@blogger.com
