Happy Nine Eleven

Get ready, it's coming: That giant white cloud of smoke and ash squeezing around the corner between two skyscrapers will be filling your TV screens in just five days. It's that time of year again, when we celebrate a dark moment from the past, in part to make money for the advertisers. And the other part? I'm clueless, so please fill me in.

This year's 9/11 celebration promises to be bigger and better than ever: It's the 10th Anniversary! There's some new footage, the memorial is almost, not quite, close to being finally finished and a battery of survivors have each come out with "my story" in book form. So much to do! So much to see! Anderson Cooper is surely choosing his outfit as I write this.

    Replaying the horrors of 9/11 is totally f**ed up, to put it bluntly, .and succinctly. Thanks for the blog, Andrea.

    I am glad that I will be away for the celebrations......on the mountain, where I was when it happened ten years ago. It would be nice to hold all the planes back again.
