I'm going to Shanksville today

I spent many years of my life in Somerset County, where flight 93 went down.

My piano teacher has a lake house near the field where the plane crashed. A handful of his adult students are going up today for a picnic.

So it's just a coincidence that I'll be there while Obama, Biden, and Clinton are there. I can't believe how 9/11 affected my little backyard town. It's very hard to wrap my mind around.

Very sobering.

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
Go with our good thoughts. But mostly make sure you enjoy the picnic with friends. Rather than being somber so much I think we need to appreciate and, like you will today, enjoy what it was they held worth fighting for.

My wife and I have been trying to decide when to stop. We keep meaning to make the trip on one of our PA visits, but we always end up driving up and back at night.

I understand that GW Bush, Bill Clinton, and Biden are going to be there today.
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

I wasn't sure if GW was staying home.

We are leaving later, so I am hoping to avoid the secret service and street shutdowns.

We will not be stopping at the Memorial today, but will soon. Today we'll drive right by it. If we kept going, we'd be headed toward DC.

I am just outside the Memorial now.

Crowded.

Lots of bikers.

Lots of flags.

Weird hold up.

Traffic stopped by cops.

Am looking for government officials to come out.

A friend of mine and I visited the site shortly after the crash. Sobering indeed.
I cite irreconcilable differences.
