Had an interesting encounter with a colleague this morning

I knew he had gone to law school in NYC around that time and I asked him if he had been in the city. Turns out he was clerking for a federal judge in the SDNY, with offices in lower Manhattan. So he saw the whole thing out his window. He said he hasn't been able to watch action/disaster movies since.

- There is def a chasm between those that witnessed it live and those that were thousands of miles away. I think everybody when in NYC should go to the memorial - By Daytripper September 11, 2026 at 12:58:15 PM
  - I have been to the city probably 20ish times, but never been to the memorial. She wont go there, and I know not to suggest it. Its a delicate balance, but maybe someday* - By Mothman September 11, 2026 at 01:02:42 PM
