12 Years On

It’s been some time since the madness. Time to let wounds heal, but still remember. Remember not to trade too much of our freedom for security. Remember to appreciate life, we don’t know how long we really have. Remember to love and appreciate the people in our lives, we don’t know how long they have.

Con Crud & 9/11

It’s been one week since the end of my last DragonCon and only now I’m finally feeling better. The bugs passed around the Convention (fondly referred to as Con Crud), kicked our asses but good this year. Up until now, it’s taken all of my energy to get through the day in the most basic way. Now, I felt normal for at least part of today.
It’s also the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. I won’t go into what I was doing (or what I thought) at the time. I now just wonder how the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq will be judged by history. I suspect it will be a harsher judgement than I once imagined a few years ago.
