The worst thing was the ventors on the street leading to Ground Zero selling 9/11 memorabilia.
Now that's the New York I know and love. Honestly opportunistic and tacky.
The only danger I was in that day was driving off the road because I was concentrating too hard on the news instead of on getting my daughter to school. And running up my phone bill calling and calling and calling people. Parents. Siblings. In-laws. Siblings' exes. I was glad for three-way calling, because my parents in Connecticut couldn't get through to my sisters in New York... but I could. So I conferenced everybody together. That was a tiny blessing.
Or maybe there were terrorists in the blackberry bushes outside my house waiting to slit my throat because I'm such a threat. But if there were, I blithely ignored them.
