Yes, the blog contest is over. J and I are going through all of your wonderful entries, and I’ll post the winners shortly. Today just didn’t seem like the day.

 

My best friend in the world lived about eleven blocks from the WTC. Thankfully she is fine, but I remember that day like it just happened. And it still hurts. I don’t know about you guys, but I get sort of sick to my stomach when I see the previews for all the 9/11 movies they’ve made. Already.
