Like you, I was in New York, in a hotel and scheduled for an 11 AM pickup to the airport. I kept smelling something acrid but my windows faced uptown. I went down with my bags, and the guy behind the desk--not a regular desk person, a custodian--said, "You ain't going nowhere." <br /><br />And I didn't. But for the next five or six days, many of the people stranded in that hotel became friends. Some of those friendships still endure. But that's small comfort in the wake of an evil that killed all those people and also, I think, damaged this country in ways it will take decades to assess.Timothy Hallinanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551263887774445511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-2190429545283493032012-09-08T15:45:36.315-04:002012-09-08T15:45:36.315-04:00Morning: cappuccino.

And so many others. I only remember feeling sick from my vantage point in California. I think I was in shock, like so many. Today, I still get tears in my eyes from this. Ten year anniversary or eleven years, it really doesn't matter. There are things you don't forget.lil Glucksternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288522126331817172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-44534311826409955152012-09-08T10:08:00.608-04:002012-09-08T10:08:00.608-04:00A moving post - it brought the morning's horro...A moving post - it brought the morning's horrors back from the the recesses of the mind where they stay tucked away until The Date rolls around again.

My first published fiction was about them: a short story called Baggage Claim in "Queens Noir." Your memories are so vivid. That's the thing. It all comes back. Especially the smell. And what a gorgeous morning it had started out. When you buy me that coffe coffee you owe me at Bouchercon, we'll talk about other things: how we both realized a dream since then.Annamaria Alfierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311596277267789834noreply@blogger.com
