Tomorrow marks five years since the terror attack when a plane crashed into a farm field outside of Shanksville, Pa (near Pittsburgh). The main focus of the day, of course, will be on NYC and DC, but we cannot forget (as we often do when talking about 9/11) the heoism of that doomed flight in Western Pa.

On happier news, Thursday was my niece's birthday (her party will be next Sunday to coincide with her sister's birthday). But otherwise nothing really new to report here other tha the newly added "book" section below (yes, there is a theme which may change periodically).
