I don't do that often enough. "Wish You Were Here" happened to be playing on 101.9 as I caught my first glimpse of lower Manhattan approaching the Lincoln Tunnel. The tip of the Empire State Building, from the observation deck upward was covered by low hanging clouds. I was living in Los Angeles when it happened. I'll never forget that horrible helpless feeling. Four guys I went to high school with were killed. Two brothers who were firemen, a cop who had just put in for retirement, and a banker on one of the top floors. Some baseball would be nice tonight. A Jeter hit would be a bonus. If you're healthy and loved everything's a bonus. Thought to give my wife and three sons a kiss on the cheek as they slept this morning before heading into NY. I don’t do that often enough.
