Almost Back

Well, I'm moving a bit slow, but I think I'm mostly recovered from the nasty effects of ragweed (which peaked this week — about a month late — at a high of 134 grains per cubic meter, substantially higher than the 50 grains per cubic meter that is considered “high.”). Nasty stuff. It has made me feel worse in the past, but it seemed to have a longer lasting period of “attack” this year. Right now, the main remaining issue is a cough, which, normally will stick with me for a few weeks.

Well, enough wallowing in self-pity. Today is 9/11. I cannot believe it has been three years since the World Trade Center was hit. I can still remember hearing the breaking news on CBS Radio News (via KMOX) early on that beautiful September morning. On the other hand, it seems like terrorism has been the top headline for ages now — I miss the time before we were so worried about it.
