Day 209 May 30, 2002

I was up early but I wasn't working today. Laurie and I had a meeting in the city. The building it was in happened to have a view of ground zero. They have done a remarkable job cleaning up the mess the sub-humans left us. We walked by St. Peter's church and the collection of momentos of lost loved ones is staggering.

In a recent interview, General Norman Schwartzkopf was asked if he didn't think there was room for forgiveness toward the people who have harbored and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on America.

His answer was classic Schwartzkopf. He said, "I believe that forgiving them is God's function. Our job is simply to arrange the meeting."

I love that guy. Too bad that quote is only an urban legend. But alas, I digress. Back at the cabin (after a 4 hour drive, 112 miles) I filled up my kitchen cabinets with pots and pans, silverware, etc. Thanks to my Grandparents, I have a kitchen fully stocked with family "heirlooms". Makes it feel homey.

3 hours, sunny and warm around 80.
