Ground Zero

I was in New York with my family a couple of weeks ago visiting my father and stepmother, as well as my brother and his family. While there we made a visit to Ground Zero, which at this point is a large construction site. I found it very moving, very difficult not to think about what had happened there. The last time I was there, the World Trade Center was still standing; in fact, we all went to the top as tourists no more than a couple of months before 9/11. I have to admit, I'm not sure I would want to work on the site.

More from New York in a few weeks.
