| It is September 14, 2001 and I am sitting
| |
| | myselfpermission, and just left the TV
|
| here trying tothink of something to
| |
| | on.I didn't even pretendthat I was trying
|
| share; frankly, I can't. I'm still
| |
| | to get anything done; I just stayed
|
| inshock over the events of the last few
| |
| | gluedto the tube to stay informed.
|
| days so I'm going tooffer this:
| |
| | Occasionally I had to remindmyself to
|
| I have always maintained that TV is the

| |
| | I didn't get much done, but it doesn't
|
| because it's so easy to getsucked-in and
| |
| | matter; I did whatwas most important at
|
| completely distracted. I've tried to
| |
| | the time. After all, my country wasunder
|
| workwhile the TV is on, but I'm only at
| |
| | attack. Members of my American "family"
|
| 50% capacity at best. Isuppose that's
| |
| | were lost.

| | Others were heroes. The coverage of the

| |
| | events and all ofthe incredible

| The solution I have always recommended is
| |
| | amazing.
|
| to never turn on a

| | It was a monumental moment of history,
|
| TV in the first place. It's amazing how
| |
| | and I know I did theright thing. If I had
|
| easy it is to avoidplot lines when you
| |
| | been in New York, I would have beenout of

| don't know what they are! That said,when
| |
| | the house (or apartment) doing SOMETHING
|
| there is a major news event I find myself
| |
| | to help
|
| in terribleconflict; should I keep my
| |
| | SOMEBODY who was more directly affected
|
| nose to the grindstone or just
| |
| | than I.

| 'give-in' to the temptation to keep up
| |
| | In reading what I just wrote, it sounds
|
| with what's going on?
| |
| | like I feel guiltydoesn't it? Well, I do
|
| I have found myself in this predicament
| |
| | a little because I, like
|
| during major eventssuch as the Columbine
| |
| | mostentrepreneurs, have a strong work

|
| When something happens that is so
| |
| | I'm in great pain because of what I saw
|
| devastating, so traumatic,so
| |
| | and heard, but inretrospect I really had
|
| incomprehensible as the terrorist attacks
| |
| | no choice. It was simply notpossible for
|
| on the World
| |
| | me to ignore what was happening so that I

| |
| | "get some work done".
|
| NEED to keep up with the details. I
| |
| | If it's a really important distraction,
|
| NEEDto know what's happening. I NEED to
| |
| | give yourselfpermission. After all, some
|
| feel involved in somefashion, even if
| |
| | things are just more importantthan a few
|
| only vicariously. So I gave
