Like most of you, I'll be taking time to remember 9/11 today. I still can't believe it's been ten years. I had just been laid off my job and was up early to talk to unemployment on the telephone. The agent called right after the second plane hit, and I remember trying to get off the phone as soon as possible.  I had friends in New York and DC and wanted to be sure they were okay. My father was in Arkansas at the time and had to take a military plane home because commercial flights weren't operating.

9/11 is something you never really forget, as when I moved to Arlington, Virginia some years later, my apartment was only a couple miles away from the Pentagon. It's hard not to remember to think of it when you  pass through, even if it's just a fleeting thought.

I didn't know anyone that died that day, but it's still emotional regardless.
