But for different reasons. Tomorrow's my father's funeral, so following the morning service, there will be an all day get-together/wake/sort of thing at my grandparent's... Followed by catching up with my long lost sister (been about 11 years since we last saw each other).

But otherwise, I'd be ignoring the 9/11 loop myself.

I am glad you'll have the opportunity to spend time with your sister, but I regret the sad circumstance that will bring you together.

otherwise I would be at the beach - but you can't escape it there, either, there are programs everywhere in the North East. As it is, I will have to hear the memorial a block from my house because they will have the loud speakers on.

Sorry I think my last nerve has been whipped into a nationalistic frenzy. I can't take it anymore.

I was depressed for a while after 9/11. I stopped watching TV, began to feel better, and found that it worked for others too.
