SEPTEMBER 11, BRITISH PERSPECTIVE

Salud, Kids!

Hard to comprehend that it has been ten years since that day. September 11.

With the deepest of emotions, each year I remember it. All of that day and those following.

Ten years and it feels as though it were yesterday.

It is comforting to know others, not just Americans, understand the magnitude of that fateful day.

Our friend, British Brian, sends us his thoughts and it means a lot.

British Brian reminds us to check out the final evening of Proms. I plan to check it out and not just because I like the name of the event. I adore anything, BBC, plus I simply adore his spelling...flavor never so good as the British way.

Oh, Brian-Labor Day is a holiday where we do NOT work. How could that concept possibly be confusing (insert major sarcasm).

Please read on...

Dear Pam - I have talked about the Proms and the last night is here - well it is on Saturday, September 10.

So, if anyone is interested look on the BBC site - they may well stream the concert -it is well worth it to get a flavour of the British love of music and our eccentricities.

But, many of you - and lots of us over here - will also have in mind the 10th anniversary of the 11th.

There has been so much in our press about the ill heath still being suffered by those caught up in the events - especially the clouds of dust and debris that covered such a wide area and was drawn in people's lungs.

Our 2 countries may have different accents - we may spell things in a different way - but, we have so much history and so much friendship that you can be assured of our remembrance of your "blackest day."

Whilst, in no way comparable in terms of numbers of dead, we have also suffered terrorist attacks - so we know what you are going through.

But, in both of our countries there are innumerable stories of people who helped others, offered assistance, put themselves in danger - or to put it another way - acted as kind human beings.

To change the subject - could you please tell me what "Labor Day" is all about?

Love to you all - Brian and Mo
