I haven't entirely figured out what I'm going to do; it's an uneasy balance between not putting my life on pause and not ignoring such a watershed in history.
The balance, such as it is, is probably going to consist on going to the Renfair (because I've looked forward to that through all the craziness at work) but also doing what I've done for the last 3 anniversaries... wearing black with the memorial ribbon (that was, appropriately, handed out at said fair) and then going home, digging up a big box of tissues and rereading the Commission Report, my printouts of my listservs that day, and the 9/12 newspapers.
