what i remember the most...

i'm actually grateful that the sky isn't blue today.

that's really what i remember most...how unbelievably gorgeous the sky was and how it stayed that way for four days afterward.

i also remember not being able to turn the date on my desk calander. i actually had stopped turning it sometime the week before because i was at the theatre teching oedipus and somehow, i just didn't want to see that date again so i threw the whole thing away.

it's funny what you remember. it's all the little things. what was playing on the radio when they announced the first plane hit. what was playing in the grocery store near the prop shop when i went and grabbed some cold cuts for lunch. how decimated i thought my neighborhood would be. how quiet it was everywhere i went. they didn't run trains that day.

turning on the television and realizing you couldn't escape it. i don't know if having cable would have helped or not. my car's battery dies that week and i had to drive to sears to have it replaced. to get to sears you have to drive past the pentagon which was still smouldering.

and on a lighter note:

my friend stacy interviewed me for a piece on art from the aftermath on NPR. we recorded it about a week and a half ago and i had a bit of a cold, so my voice sounds totally throaty and hot. i wonder if they'regoing to use it.
