More commentary

September 17, 2001

A weekend of recovery. We finally turned off the news here the other day—I assume anything new coming out of New York or DC will probably not be good news at this point.

I’m sick and therefore ineligible, but please, if you’re healthy go and give blood. I’m holding my loved ones close physically [...]
