I was thinking what to get for my anniversary when the planes hit. Everyone at work stopped and went to the counter area where there was a TV. We all thought it was a plane that had screwed up and hit the building.......until the second one hit. One girl was crying because her brother had just flown out of Boston and she could not get ahold of him. He was not on the flight that hit the towers but nobody really knew anything. Later I had alot of anger that lasted for a few weeks. I felt useless and sad at the same time.
My anniversary nowadays is a little solemn and today as I watched Paul Simon sing "The sounds of silence" at ground zero, I felt a tug at my heart and tears kinda welled up in my eyes. That does not happen often. 12 years for me 10 for everyone else. The place I was married in burned down a few years ago. They are building a Dunkin Doughnuts on it and I am supplying the HVAC duct for it. It all kind of makes me think and contemplate the uselessness of it all and the far reaching implications that have become the defining moment in time frozen and solidified like a rock in the hearts of every American. There is a lesson to be learned here. I just have not figured it out yet.

He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
