Good Morning,

Today, September 11th, is a tough day for many of us to put it mildly. Because of the layers of sadness, loss and simply how overwhelming the day was 22 years ago when the full scope of what happened and what changed settled on us, it's a fraught day to write too. It's intimidating. It's times like these where simplicity can be the best way to thread the emotional needles that this anniversary can be.
Fly safe,

I remember being driven across a major airport to the main terminal to attend an Emergency Meeting. Exiting the car, I could not miss the sight of a large number of airliners put into immediate hibernation… of which the silence was so deafening… a sound I shall never forget!

Beech Dude, thanks!

captjns, I remember when you called ops during climb out to report your OOOI's. It's amazing how on time we were then?

Today's a little subtle...

My family has tended to marry late and have kids late. I have no grandkids (biologically possible, just barely), but one gate agent recently commented that I'm older than her grandmother. Guess it was an oblique compliment since she didn't think I looked that old.

I tell my age and people cannot believe it. They think I am much younger. I pull out my License. They shake their head.

I have 3 stepdaughters so you think I'd have at least 1 step-grandchild. Nope. It just worked out that none of them ever had any kids and now they're all too old. Between the 3 of them they've had 9 spouses, number two was the overachiever with 5. We warned her we were just going to start calling them by their number instead of trying to remember their name.
