My tribute video to the victims of 9/11 that I created more than 10 years ago. I worry every year that the memory of this horrible day will fade from our memories. Please do your part to remember this day.

And to my friend Barbara Olson, who died on flight 77, you will always be missed.

I had a really short night, waking up around 3 a.m. and just deciding to stay up because I woke up really motivated to get things done. I have a lot of cleaning to do, I want to study, and I am just generally feeling motivated to get things done.

My first plan was to go out on the deck and study, but sadly, while no rain was on the forecast, it has been raining on and off all morning. So I am going to shift to cleaning and hope the weather will improve this after noon.
