Past is dead and gone

Breathe in, breathe out, move on.

Maggie! It is great to see you here again!

22 years seems like so long ago, but so many of the images and emotions are still very fresh in my mind. I did not personally know anyone who was killed in the 9/11 attack, but a mason I was working with at the time lost 2 family members there: his sister's husband, and one of his wife's brothers.

Did you know Christopher Cramer?

I was touched by the kind words that were said in honor of Jimmy Buffett, including what Paul McCartney and President Biden said.

No, I didn't know Chris at all. Living in North Jersey at the time, local newspapers printed obituaries of everyone they could to give people a sense of everyone we lost. A little bio of those who perished. Chris's story stood out to me as a Buffett fan. Plus, everyone forgetting to play Jimmy's music at his memorial was amusing. Probably something I might forget to do!
