Crazy times

It’s the 24th anniversary of 9/11 and I’m in our office in lower Manhattan. While I have been in New York for the 9/11 anniversaries in the past, this time feels different just by being here. I was just 11 when 9/11 happened. I remember turning on the 10 inch TV in my Dad’s room and seeing what happened when I woke up in the morning.

I went to school and like many other classmates, I had no idea really what this meant or what happened. Of course, by watching the news, I had learned that this was a major deal and the world was going to change afterwards.

Of course, just yesterday the country dealt with another crazy situation as a shooter killed Charlie Kirk. It’s an awful situation and a incredibly dark moment for America. The country feels like we’re headed in a terrible direction of more violence and dark moments. Political views aside, any sort of violence is just a terrible stain in America.
