Dear Rest of America,
I would not like to hear about NY's plans for the 9/11 memorial ceremony on the news. I would not like to purchase a 9/11 commemorative "A Look Back" glossy magazine for $4.95 in the checkout lane.

I would like to go away somewhere that is not NY for that day, although the chances of that are very slim.

Here. Here. My thoughts exactly. I will be staying in Northampton.

I just figured out the answer: everyone should take the day off and go drive around with their loved ones and eat popsicles and just quietly appreciate that we are here.

i remember looking at my camera the morning it happened.

the camera was sitting on my livingroom window sill.

the view from that window was of the trade centers across the river.

i left the camera where it was.

i didn't want to feel like a tourist in my own apartment.

on the anniversary, i will not watch TV or buy into the circus.

i will spend it in brooklyn with my friends.

Someone called me yesterday to complain that the college registration starts on Sept. 11 (I don't even work in the undergrad department, so I don't know why she called me). She was ranting about how she shouldn't have to stand in long lines on a day when she should be mourning. I told her to come the next day and she said, "But then I won't get the classes I want." I told her that she had quite a decision to make then. She said, "I don't apprecaite your tone." I said (knowing, of course, that she had no idea to which department she was speaking), "Well, I don't appreciate you letting the terrorists win. You're allowing them keep you from planning your future and, in my opinion, that makes you a traitor." Then I hung up.
