Remembering the Twin Towers

Go read Megan McArdle. But do it in a place where you won't mind if people see you shedding a few tears. My eyes rarely get wet from looking back at the attacks. Even when I visited the site in November, I was more struck with awe and reverence than tears and sadness. But something in these writings was enough to get me to shed a tear. The only other time I can remember that happening was about six weeks ago. My buddy who lives in New Jersey had sent me a link to be able to view the photos of his new house that he had posted up on Ofoto. In addition to the virtual album of his house there were a number of other albums and pictures posted. As I browsed through them, I realized that one set was from photos taken on the observation deck of one of the towers. At first I was just noticing him and his girlfriend in the pictures. And then suddenly it hit me: they were standing on the WTC less than four months before the towers were destroyed. Megan's writing today is fantastic.

Update: I had Megan's name spelled wrong. Sorry.
