Bagpipers at City Hall

Honoring court officers who lost their lives on 9/11. These officers ran toward the chaos when everyone else was running away.

At the memorial service today, the speaker pointed out that none of these officers asked for religious affiliation before they decided to offer assistance at the Twin Towers. He did not point out that as court officers, none of them had to go -- their job was at the court, not as a first responder.

Quince and I have had a very nice weekend in Delaware. We had Sunday dinner in Felton with Lawn and George. Yesterday we saw more family: nephew Christopher, his kids Alex and Riley, and mom Jesse. They are all doing well.

Also spent time yesterday at Longwood Gardens. Despite good intentions to see more, we barely got out of the Conservatory. Kent (left) is in the Children's Garden, where we (me, Quin, and Kent) spent more time than is maybe seemly for, really, people our age. Also saw their pipe organ, which had 10,010 pipes and an absolutely beautiful ballroom for the console. Kent and Dad seem to be doing well.

Today Quin and I hop the Amtrak for the Big Apple. We have theater tickets and have studies NYT reviews for others we are interested in.
