Chop Wood, Carry Water 9/11 Addendum

Hi, all.

I realize I made no mention of 9/11 in this morning’s post. Sorry about that. I meant to start with the positive news and then close with the anniversary, but in my zeal to get the newsletter out early I forgot.

This is probably at least partially because I find it hard to talk about September 11th. I was in Brooklyn that day; I lived there at the time. I’m not going to go into detail about what it was like—enough has been said by others with more skill at speaking of such things. But suffice it to say it was dreadful, heartbreaking, and extremely frightening.

Because of this, eloquence fails me. Just know that I honor this day, and wish everyone who was affected by the events on September 11th—and the years that followed—my very best.

Talk tomorrow, all.

Jess
