Coulda shoulda woulda

As a young ferry deckhand wanting to become a captain, my boss let me help deliver a ferry from Boston to NY in '98. After a 16 hr trip, at dawn, I stood on deck and was captivated by the twin towers and had my pic taken with them over my shoulders and a grin on my face. Every day, I wish I had gone to the top deck that day in 98. Now age 29, I am proud to be a Captain for NY Waterway the ferry co. that helped so many evacuate from the city on 9/11. Its not much, but thats my story.

Let (the) Freedom (Tower) Ring

Having only seen the WTC twins once in my life, the inundation of tv shows etc surrounding the tenth anniversary of 9/11 have caused a deep longing within me to see the twins built again-same towers, but instead of 110 stories-build them to 111! That would be a real slap in the face to those who attacked us. In this pic, the Freedom Tower is almost past the twins. The day WTC 1 surpasses 110 stories will be the day the people of the US mentally defeat our enemies. We will not be broken!
