Wilfried,
Like everyone else, I have given this a lot of thought - a year's worth. I have decided to celebrate September 11th as the day I finally appreciated the magnificence of life in the USA. We could have lost it. We could have fallen into a panic and destroyed our economy. We could have gone on a witch hunt, found legal means to get rid of "outsiders", and destroyed the "dream". Despite George, we haven't.

Every day is a gift. Celebrate it. Sorry if this sounds like pure tripe. I don't know a better way to express it.
Mary
