That's good somebody of his age is so interested in seeing this. All the young ones at the theaters I saw tonight were all waiting to see one of the other movies playing.

Attendance was rather light at the theaters I was at (two screens for United 93 at my metroplex)

Hmmm. Had the exact opposite experience at the late show tonite. Most of the folks seeing the film were in their twenties. The theater was about half full.

Hey CCC,

We got back a couple of hours ago. The theater in PH was lightly attended, but at the end, it was utterly silent. The Lad and I sat there until almost until the end of the credits.

When AA11 disappeared from the radar scope, my breath caught in my throat. When the second tower was hit, it had such immediacy.

Toward the end, he actually reached for my hand and held it. !4 y/o's don't do that very often.

He didn't eat but half of his M&Ms. I have a full bag of popcorn left.

When we got home, we sat and talked about 9-11 for about half an hour. On the way home, I told him he was a brave and courageous boy, and that I respected him for going with me.

I wish that everyone in the country - heck, as many people as possible overseas as well - would see this.
