quicko: september 11th

Maybe I'm just a bit more sensitive having been in America at Ground Zero recently, but it just hit me again this year while writing the date on the board for my students that September 11th really is a date that will continue to live in infamy.  Even an "off" year that's not a particular anniversary is still an anniversary.  And even if I end up a bit sunburnt because airline security confiscated my sunscreen ... well, gosh, there are much worse things that can happen.  (Yes, I know that doesn't all flow logically.  Give me a break and one day for emotion.  If any day deserves it, this one does.)
