Sept. 11th


I almost didn't even recognize that today was 9/11

This morning I woke up like any other morning, went through all our little family routines and sat down at the computer to check stocks and get some early work done. I don't think it really hit me that today is September 11th until I happened to see Lileks had posted on it (I recommend the comments section there as well, some thoughtful responses about where they were on 9/11).

I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad that today seemed like any other day. On one part, its a great thing that we have moved so far past the specter of 9/11 that we can go about our daily lives and feel no more threatened by it than we do by December 7th. On the other hand, we have not yet defeated the people who attacked us on 9/11, and we are currently in a war with our troops in harms way daily. Can we afford to just get on with our lives when they have put their lives on hold and on the line?
