Events occur and one wonders what it was like to be present.
My older son started work at a New York law firm on 9/10/2001. On day 2 during the week of orientation, all routine was discombobulated with the destruction of the Twin Towers. His building shaked and people fled through Wall Street trying to make sense of what was occurring.
My younger son started work as a summer associate in a New York firm last year. And he walks into the subprime disaster of Bear Sterns! What an education received!
And, now he starts work as an attorney at the same firm on 2 September only to find Wall Street going under the following weekend!
Participating in historic events must be intoxicating (without dwelling on the tragedies involved).
