I remember choking it down, pissed.

Lucky you. I still have no real-time recollection at all of anything that happened during the two hours after the first tower fell and the entire area disappeared under that cloud.

I guess there's an area of my brain that's been roped off and has a "Do Not Enter" sign on it. I wonder if I will ever remember it.

I gave my daughter $20 to buy her high school yearbook. You know how these schools go all out with their yearbooks with the leather bindings, padded covers, gilt edge pages, etc.

She brought home a stapled-together little folder of xeroxed pages. On the first page it said:

Our memories of high school will never be as vivid as our memories of 9-11. Therefore we have taken the money we collected for the yearbook and send it to Hatzolah (a volunteer EMS service that was on the scene at the WTC)

Your awesome live coverage of what was happening that morning saved my sanity I think.

I was driving over the Throgs Neck Bridge on my way to work when the second plane hit. I could see the smoke. I almost crashed my car.

I had to continue on to work in Scarsdale as I couldn't turn around and go home. They had closed the bridges so quickly.

I logged on to Free Republic as soon as I got to my office. Most of our phone lines were down and FR was my link to what was going on.

I hung on every post you wrote.

Thanks.
