The sky this morning in New Orleans looked just as it did in the New Jersey on the morning of September 11. After a brief look outside, I had to go back in. Here’s something I wrote two years after 9/11.


A Beautiful Day
It was a typical crisp fall morning in New Jersey.

It's Bastille Day! I've oiled up the guillotine. Maybe I'll drive up to Baton Rouge.
I need a catchy tune. Hmm.
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a pеople
Who will not be slaves again!

On this date in 1215, the Magna Carta was signed.
--Freedom of religion
--Protection of illegal imprisonment
--Swift and impartial judgement
--Limitatons on feudal payments (taxation)
Would that we had something similar in this country.

Lovely son, a sommelier, just dropped off a bottle of wine to thank me for doing a dad thing.
Thanks were unnecessary.
My wine cooler is full.
Is this a good time to start day drinking?
Trick question. It's always a good time to start day drinking. Unless it's night time.

"Have another drink," said Trillian. "Enjoy yourself."
"Which?" said Arthur. "The two are mutually exclusive."
"Poor Arthur, you're really not cut out for this life are you?"
"You call this life?"
"You're starting to sound like Marvin."
"Marvin is the clearest thinker I know."
Happy Towel Day!
