Writer's Block: 9/11
As humor columnist Dave Barry would say, I swear I am not making this up...
I was on a plane when it happened. OK, we'll back up a little. I was in Portland, ME, having just completed a ~425 mile fund raising bicycle ride (this was when I used to have time to ride a couple hundred miles a week to train for such craziness). I was supposed to fly out ( Read more... ) -
