NY NY

I figured it would be interesting to be in New York on 9/11, and it was. Basically the city is back to normal, except for the area right around Ground Zero. They read the names of the victims, there was singing outside the church, and there were people aggressively handing out conspiracy theory literature. There was a great article on the front page of today's NY Times, available here.

Meanwhile, 9/11/2009 will live in infamy because Derek Jeter apparently did something important! Woo hoo! (There's something about Yankees records that's not all that exciting to me.)

I'm lovin New York this time around. Before I'd just been in Manhattan and Queens, and usually under some sort of time crunch. Lounging around, going to some conference events (I'm at Lavender Law with friends from school.) The subway and the people watching are great -- and so's the fact that I can get big meals from trucks for 3 bucks.
