This is a fitting MM since my mood is solemn. For the most part, this MM is in tribute to the 9-11 Attack on the World Trade Center nearly one year ago. It may be difficult to do, but I would much rather have us share our stories and feelings than be assaulted by the media and their over-hyped, skewed telling of the event. If it is too much, feel free to return next week, but this seemed like the proper forum for remembering and sharing.

1. Where were you and what was happening in your life the moment when you
first became aware of what was happening at the World Trade Center in New York
City last September 11th? What was the first thing you did when you heard the
news?
2. When those truly responsible for the attack are apprehended, what do
you think would be the most fitting form of justice?
3. This will probably be much like when our parents respond to "Where
were you when JFK was shot?"- an event never forgotten by those who were there.
But how do you think the history books should present the 9-11 attacks?
Should it be included for all future generations? How can we truly convey the
shock, the outrage, the emotions and pain of that day to the children of our
children?
4. No one in that building, in the Pentagon, or on the planes (other
than the terrorists) knew that 9-11 would be their last day to be alive. For me,
it brought home the reality that I could be gone at anytime, without any
warning. Now, I really want each day to have some value. Did the events of
9-11 bring about a change in the way you live your life?
5. Several who loved to fly in planes will not step foot in one
anymore. Many parents are more protective of their children. A year later, do
you find yourself feeling more secure than back then? Or is it just a matter of
time before something else happens?
6. The best way for me to honor the those impacted by the attack will
be to refrain from any media that day. No papers, no radio and especially no
television. Others will light candles, and others will attend special services.
What, if anything, will you do to personally reflect on the tragedy?
7. One of the visuals that touched me the most were the walls and
walls full of hand made "Missing" posters. What image will you always have in
your mind when you recall the events of 9-11?
BONUS: Who's gonna come around when you break?
Comment question of the week: What's your favorite hand gesture?
