I received this message from JBelle a few moments ago: "What a day. Never could get to work; was just too emotional. I think there's a case to be made for re-structuring Labor Day and making 9/11 a national holiday. In fact, I think from now on, I will make it a standing paid holiday at my office." You know ... she has a good idea. Labor Day doesn't mean anything more than a three-day weekend to end the summer. 9/11 deserves a time of reflection. I've certainly been melancholy today as I think about 9/11 -- the awful attack, the way it changed out lives, and the uncertainty ahead. What do you think? You're free to answer that question or pose your own thread with this Wild Card ...
