Twin Towers

The "Towers of Light" are again dazzling our hearts. I can see them from my bedroom window, only my angle is such that the lights blend as one. For ten years they have blazed into the NYC sky on the anniversary of 9/11. It's about the best tribute of an event I have ever seen and for ten years I've marveled at the idea and the, well, simple and basic ingenuity of it. Since ground zero has now opened to the public and the new World Trade Center building is now above 80 stories and will be reaching its apex soon (1776 feet to the tippy-top) and will supposedly be open for business in 2013, this will be the last year for this "Tribute in Light." The lights will be turned off forever at 11:00 p.m. tonight And I will miss them forever.
