Laughing While Crying
I didn’t get a chance to post this yesterday, so here is the sleeveless turtleneck I was wearing on 9/11/01, when I worked in the World Financial Center, across the street from the World Trade Center. I didn’t keep it as a memento. I just wear clothes for a really long time. I did get…
