OTAS, you found it

Just a few blocks away today, a small plane hit a high-rise building. It’s amazing how jumpy we are after the World Trade Center was destroyed. Immediately, we tune into the news to be reassured it was a “small” plane, not hijacked jetliners; it was a “typical” residential high-rise on the UES, not an iconic skyscraper in Midtown or Lower Manhattan; only a few people died, not thousands. . . Of course! No, we don’t verbalize these emotions, or even really allow ourselves to feel them -- that would be a sign of weakness-- but we certainly think it, for a moment at least, before their dismissal. Then people from all over the country call you to ensure you are “all right”.

Of course I’m all right! (Errrr. .Thank God.) Why wouldn’t I be?!





















Unforgettable?
