Six Month Anniversary of September 11, 2001 March 11th, 2002 @ 11:59 am PST
So it’s been six months now. I’m still thinking about what I said when it had been one week. It’s very strange to look at posts pre-9/11 and try to imagine what I was thinking when I wrote them. What world was that? Such an odd date – 09/11/2001 – has suddenly become the temporal […]
