A Sober September Day

I'm working on a pitch, and Kim and I went out to a restaurant in DUMBO after work. So it wasn't until about 8:30 when I walked out of the subway to see the beams of light shooting up from the WTC site. It was a visceral reminder of a day that can seem almost unreal when you're anywhere else.

As new New Yorkers, thinking of that day makes me exceptionally grateful both to the soldiers oversees who were inspired by that day to defend our country, and the cops and firemen here who stand ready to put themselves in harm's way even though the worst case scenario can always happen here.
