I’m checking in; and with Bill - if anybody needs a place to stay, please let me know, my place is available (W 15th between 7th & 8th). I’m headed over to St. Vincent’s right now to see if they need volunteers, since I can’t donate blood (Hepatitis when I was 21). Prayers for Vix and Vince. ---

I walked home from Wall Street. The trains aren’t runnibg. I’ve never seen anything like this. The air for several blocks was thick with ash and smoke. I made it safely home, but I still feel gritty after a shower. I can’t believe that the twin towers are gone. I am shaking, but unharmed. This is unreal. ---

I’m alive. My office was in Two World Trade Center, 64th Floor. I was in the lobby of 2WTC when the first plane flew into 1WTC. Thank you all for your concern and love. Please pray for my co-workers. ---

Oh, thank goodness. **vix** , I don’t know you, we’ve never corresponded, we don’t hang out in the same forums or threads, but nonetheless I was filled with joy and relief when I read your check-in. Sounds like you had a very close call, the closest of any Doper. Now if I were you, I’d promptly go uptown to Chumley’s and get plastered. ---
