I was in my apartment. My wife and I were getting ready to go to the Finger Lakes for a couple of days then to Buffalo for a fraternity reunion. My wife called me from the dry cleaners so I turned on CNN. That was around 9:15 or so. The trip was somber. All I could think about was one of my pledge brothers who had just changed from being NYPD to FDNY three months ago. We finally heard word from him on Thursday. It ended up that he was in the Marriot when the first building went down. He wrote this spooky recap which National got a hold of and ended up making him the cover story in July of the fraternity's national publication.
The firm returned to WFC about 3-4 months ago. The sight is a creepy archilogical dig and I am getting more and more intolerant of people down here. Yesterday I came a half inch of screaming "Get the fuck out of here, you fucking gawkers. This is not a tourists attraction. I don't see fucking lemonaide stands at Austwich [sic.]."
