did you watch the 9.11 program on CBS last night? with the footage of the WTC falling down? from the inside? it was pretty crazy. we were going to watch lauryn hill unplugged and play cranium but we couldn't switch the channel. hearing the people crash down to their deaths was pretty nuts. watching the heroism of the firemen was humbling. "one fireman carrying sixty pounds of gear takes one minute to ascend each flight of stairs." the crash was eighty plus flights up. how many firemen were lost climbing those stairs?



it's been six months and the world is remarkably changed. we're at war. does anyone else feel guilty for not really doing anything? for not really knowing enough? for not even really caring about the most earth shattering event that is likely to happen in our lives? then again, in my defense, it's been a long six months. but it's still a little shameful to feel kind of blase about the whole thing. and to be kind of cynical about the constant barrage of nine eleven news and events. hum.....
