Can you believe that it's been almost a year? I can't. A whole year.
Wow.
I used to listen to the radio every morning at work. Music, sports, whatever...something to keep me awake and focused. That morning when I walked into work the office was already abuzz.
"Dude, did you hear?!" said a coworker.
No, I hadn't heard. I'd been riding the train on my morning commute. I read the paper on the train.
By 9:00AM Pacific, an officemate had already downloaded and printed an image of an airliner plummeting toward a familiar skyscraper. The fuzzy picture, taken from a digital camera, depicted a jet-shaped shadow silhouetted against one of the towers.
I stared at that image for several minutes. It looked like Hollywood magic, but it was real.
Reports rolled in all day long, and I didn't get much work done.
But that night, I gamed. I'd be damned if I was going to let terrorists control my actions. Sep. 11th was the day that I gamed anyway, because the only other option was to sit around and stare at the TV in disbelief.
