I didn't take today off, and I'm not taking tomorrow (9/11) off either.

I can't possibly write about this day without actually taking a full day to collect and organize my thoughts. I mean, I just cannot do it at 3 am on a Tuesday.

So I'll follow the advice given by so many mothers.

I'll say nothing at all.

Out of respect.
