<p>perhaps it is because we live in NYC’s “back yard,” but we saw quite a bit of coverage on 9/11 on several channels in our area- I wish I could tell you which ones (they were probably on cable network)…but one televised the reading of every name and the pre-post ceremonies, another relived the events of 9/11 in NYC, PA and Washington…our local news channel also did a beautiful peace on Long Islanders killed in the twin towers- and our church held a special ceremony for those families in our immediate area from the parish that were lost-
it was almost too much to bare-
maybe still just too close to home.
I just wish our country could move forward like so many of these brave families and get something accomplished at the trade center site- this scar does nothing to honor those lost- just something where people can go and find some peace other than staring down at an empty hole in the ground-
that is my one wish, for NY and for everyone who comes here.</p>
<p>speaking of coming here, for those of you who are visiting Kings Point this weekend (Jamzmom and prayerfulmom) thought I’d let you know that while the weather report for Thurs-Fri is not so good (cloudy with a good chance of rain…we need it!)…the outlook for Sat and Sun is much better…clearing on Sat with sun in the afternoon, sunday partly cloudy…both days in the high 70’s (76-78)…which is perfect visiting weather on LI…and gas prices are starting to come down…$3.29 yesterday for regular down to $3.19 today (heard $3.10 on the NJ Tpke)…so perhaps things are looking up afterall! have a safe trip!</p>
