Sorry for the delay

For those who read this rag, sorry for the long delay between posts. Since July, I've taken the bar, taken a job, started work, bought a new car which is the twin of an old car of mine, picked some fights, passed the bar, retained my job and written more briefs and memos then strictly necessary.

Today, I am still thinking about 9/11 and all the things we've seen since then. A tsunami in Indonesia that claimed more than 250,000 lives. A hurricane that drowned New Orleans. Wars in two theaters of operation that has claimed thousands and thousands of American lives and even more civilian deaths. Westboro Baptist Church. The capture of Saddam. The continuing freedom of Osama. The rise of Obama, the rise of McCain and the cult of Palin. Civil rights abolished. The ever-present Geraldo.

But still, time marches on and so does our human race. Despite the color, the faith, the language that may attempt to devide, still we march on, more or less together, looking for peace and holding fast to hope.

Remember

Do you remember this photo?

His name is Fr. Mychel Judge.

His death certificate carries the No. 1 for the first identifiable fatality of the World Trade Center attack.

Fr. Mychel had just finished giving last rites to a fallen firefighter when he himself and his charge were killed by falling debris.

Remember Fr. Mychel. Remember all the fallen. Remember the heros.
