I walked my son (2rd gr.) to his elementery school. On my way back home, i heard my neighbor shouting:"OMG, i can't believe this!" Then, schools were closed and the kids were sent home. The offices in high rise buildings were closed...
Now my son is like the soldiers in your picture, defending our freedom.
好容易找到下一个公司,结果下一个公司也接着破产,同事年纪轻i轻地再失业。。。

在纽约了,,,
回上海马上查email,知道所有同学同事都安全。几乎所有在纽约的国人朋友都和老美一样排队捐血,义务帮工。真实地感到,同是华人的脸,完全是两个世界的人了。
然后,我们都去会议室。
然后就是讨论美国经济。。。
记得清清楚楚,我坐在同事的cubical里在谈工作。突然隔壁的同事大声说,一架飞机撞上trader center了,还玩笑地说,这些new yorkers。。然后大家照常工作,没多久,他又说,不对了,第二架飞机也撞上了。。。
这时再试图联网去查新闻的,就都连不上了,只有几个人已经在新闻网站上还能看到实况转播。大家都凑在那几个电脑前。有同事去找电视,但办公室里的信号非常不好。。
大家都给家里人打电话。。。妈妈当时在我家,我在电话里就告诉她把电视打开,找CNN看,都说不出其他的话来。
中午的时候,大老板说,现在这个时候,还是和家人们在一起吧。。
面试我的人全部都遇难了(The company is Cantor Fitzgerald), 人生真的是选择, 如果当时那是我的唯一的一个OFFER, 我也是同样的命运。
他们年级有个孩子父母都在那大楼,双双遇难……
n年后儿子大一时去911 Memorial 实习过,做那个ticketing system
So proud to see our next generation to stand firmly to defend our freedom. We can forgive but we never forget
