My first interpretation of the radio news was that some hotshot had decided to give his girlfriend a scare by piloting a private aircraft between the Towers and missed. I wish it had been that simple.

I remember talking with Kymus about whether it would be better to jump, or to stay, if one were on the upper floors. What means of death would you choose, if you knew it were certain?

And the one specific thing I did in response to the attacks was to buy a second cat carrier, so if we had to flee we could take both cats with us.
