It's a good time remember and appreciate all the people in the world.., that mean something to... I was born in Little Italy and grew up there and Hells Kitchen. I was in Los Angeles that fateful morning with two other NY'ers -- one of them was "Big Pussy" from the Sopranos. He rushed to my apartment... It was surreal being on Sunset Blvd when our city had just been attacked. We got on the phone to friends in the NYPD, the Fire Dept -- wanted to be there, to do something to help. There were no flights, obviously.., and we thought about getting in the car to head back home. Everyone back in NYC told us 'not to come.' When we did finally get back to the city, it was Oct already but the smoke still hung there -- the fire still burned... If you are lucky enough to have people in this world that you love and care about -- tomorrow is a good day to give them a call and tell them. You never know... Thanks for the post... And sorry for the lengthy comment -- I get kinda emotional this time, every year. CHEERS!

I know how you feel, man -and thanks for sharing. This time of year always wrecks me, too. The aftermath was sometimes worse than the event... weeks and weeks of them. Goddamn awful. You either knew someone directly or knew like 5 or 6 people who did.
Thanks again, for the post. 15 years later and still a tough couple of days. Always nice to meet a fellow NY'er.
