    How are you going to spend 9/11/02?

    I don't plan on this being a political discussion like the last 911 thread, but who knows where it will go...

    I've had a number of people ask me over the last several days what I was going to do this Wednesday. As some of you on here may recall from earlier posts, I was there that day almost a year ago. Now I am between assignements and have plenty of time to kill. Everyone keeps asking me what I am going to do Wednesday, and I have no idea. I've thought about going into the city just to be there, or maybe just head to the beach for a quiet day. I'm not sure if I could find a dive at this late date, but that could be an option too.

    OK, so I'm stuck, and to tell you the truth, I propabily won't decide until that morning, but if anyone else has anything special they are doing, let me know.

    Thanks
    Ty

    Well..

    I guess a couple of things:

    1) Wear red, white, and blue.

    2) Since my office is 5 blocks from the White House, to be honest, I will probably worry a little

    We're practically neighbors then!

    I am at 21st and Pennsylvania. We could do lunch, but it would have to be some place dirt cheap...that new drysuit killed me for the month...

    Question 9/11/02..

    I'll spend it working, (I teach ), watching the kids (my students), trying (?) to remember some parts, while trying to forget (?) others.
    Hopefully without incident.

    donating for a thermal imaging camera.

    My local Fire Department has been trying to raise money for a thermal imaging camera. I've been considering dropping them a fairly sizeable donation.

    As I didn't get to it and didn't get to it I realized wednesday would be a good day to drop off the bag 'o coin.

    That's a great idea Jeff.

    For myself, will be working but I think it will be a day for quiet reflection and deep thought. In the evening I'll watch some of the tributes on TV and likely cry a bit.

    I'm going to work, then going diving in the evening. In my opinion, the best way to spend the day is to continue life as usual. This does not mean forgetting about, as I'm sure all our thoughts will be on the events of a year ago, but by continuing our lives as usual, we are making a statement.

    I'll be at work...

    Just like last year, but I think I will be remembering the last year more than I have in the past.
