SEPTEMBER....

Welcome to September where the players play... It's been too long since I sat down and wrote something for my journal. I tried to write on Monday, but the blog erased the entry.

I can't believe it's already September.

It's already September freaking 5th.

In less than a week, it will be one year since, well you know. Our paper is producing an 8 page Anniversary issue and there will be stories about it from about every angle in the newspapers, TV, radio and even here on the Internet. Don't get me wrong, I'm a journalist, we need to have these stories, but it still bugs the crap out of me.

Life in America is different since, but are we any safer? Will it happen again? Instead of answers to these and many other questions, we have politicalization, jingoism and fear.

This week, I'm going to take time to think about the real people whose lives are forever changed (which I guess is all of us, but clearly some more than others) It might be a good idea.
