Me either. I think "New York New York" and the "New York, New York, it's a
wonderful town" songs are much more representative of what this Thanksgiving
ought to be about. This year, I'm going by my gut rather than by what I was
taught. Does that make sense? I just visited AOL's Digital New York site
and saw someone's poem about the twin towers. 100 years from now her (his?)
words will meet with little emotion or interest other than the interest of
American history, but in November of 2001, those words made me cry. Still, in
fact, I can be walking through a grocery store and break into tears for no
reason. *sigh* Ain't no such word as "safe". Go out right now and life
life as you can, while you can.
