And maybe that's where we are all as a nation 14 years later, sort of.<br />I led a service of Remembrance and Prayers for Peace today on campus, and it is quite striking that overwhelmingly the folks who show-up are the staff and faculty. Because they are the adults who were adults when it happened. We had less than 10 students in the crowd.<br />But it was good. And I find myself on this day every year always wanting to go to a service or a remembrance of some kind...ritual is a big deal for me. We rang a bell a number of times - for each plane, each site, etc...it was good. And we had law-enforcement folks there, too. I think because the world is still so full of strife and struggle and war and violence - we need to remember and hope for better, and how we can be part of making it better. <br />Maybe by having less interest in football ?! (Though our oldest has a fantasy team for the first time this year, and wow - he's hooked!) Sort of kidding there, but you know what I mean. Thanks for letting me go-on a bit.

More of the same this year, but we'll get a 15th anniversary uptick next year. <br /><br />Nobody under 35 (which is obviously a huge % of the workforce) in NY was working then. And most folks under 25 were too young to really grasp the magnitude at that time.<br /><br />The day always makes me very sad. I sometimes force myself to watch one of the docs that gets run at night every year, just to remember, but it usually leaves me depressed. I am happy when I can go a few hours w/o being reminded. <br /><br />I went to the gym in my lobby at noon today. As I pedaled on a stationary bike, they were at the "T" portion of reading the victims' names. Sure enough, they read the name of Greg Trost, a Theta Delt a grade behind me. He was an all-around good dude who I only got to know after graduating. He was 26 when he passed, the same age I was.
